Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a device and method for detecting the frequency and phase shift of an input signal. The device applies time-domain methods to control a clock signal used to sample an input signal and detect its frequency and phase. Background technique
[0002] Automatic tracking for real-time video applications consists in automatically tracking the frequency and phase shift angle of the analog input signal. Some solutions are found in frequency domain methods, such as fast Fourier transform (hereinafter referred to as FFT), discrete cosine transform (hereinafter referred to as DCT) or wavelet (wavelet). However, these frequency domain methods are expensive to implement in hardware. Furthermore, because of the computational complexity of these frequency domain methods, it is usually not practical to analyze the entire data screen for automatic tracking. Frequency-domain methods often only analyze a small portion of the entire scree...
