Patent attributes
An RF phase offset detection system, which includes a first RF phase detector and a second RF phase detector, and measures a first phase offset between a first RF signal and a second RF signal, is disclosed. Each of the first RF signal and the second RF signal has a common RF frequency. The first RF phase detector detects and filters the first RF signal and the second RF signal to provide a first detection signal. The second RF phase detector receives and phase-shifts the second RF signal to provide a phase-shifted RF signal. The second RF phase detector further detects and filters the first RF signal and the phase-shifted RF signal to provide a second detection signal, such that a combination of the first detection signal and the second detection signal is representative of the first phase offset.
