Abstract
A phase detection method for use, e.g., in impedance measurements, permits accurate phase detections to be performed at a high measurement speed. Two reference signals, phase shifted by 90.degree. from each other, and an input signal are applied to two phase detectors and phase detection is performed. The two reference signals are then both incrementally phase shifted by a predetermined amount and the measurements are again made. Phase incrementation and measurements are repeated until the original phase is reattained and the measurements are then averaged.
