Linear phase is a property of a filter, where the phase response of the filter is a linear function of frequency. The result is that all frequency components of the input signal are shifted in time (usually delayed) by the same constant amount (the slope of the linear function), which is referred to as the group delay. And consequently, there is no phase distortion due to the time delay of frequencies relative to one another.

ActiveUS6853191B1Improve performanceMeasurements using NMR imaging systemsElectric/magnetic detectionReconstruction methodComputer science
Disclosed is a generalized reconstruction method that corrects for non-linear phase errors based on least-squares estimation. An approximation of the least squares estimate utilizes refocusing reconstruction in which high-resolution data is multiplied by the phase conjugate of a navigator in image-space. The multiplication rephases the unaliased signal in the high-resolution data. The high-resolution data can then be added together coherently. The multiplication can be effected in k-space as a convolution using a gridding reconstruction of the high-resolution data using the low resolution navigator.

PLL cycle slip detection
InactiveUS7003065B2Pulse automatic controlVoltage-current phase angleControl signalPhase locked loop circuit
A cycle slip detector interfaces with a phase / frequency detector (PFD), such as might be used in a phase-locked loop circuit (PLL), and indicates when cycle slips occur in the PFD. Typically, the PFD generates output control signals as a function of the phase difference between first and second input signals, with the first input signal usually serving as a reference signal against which the PLL adjusts the second input signal. The PFD provides linear phase comparison between its input signals, provided their relative phase difference does not exceed ±2π radians. If one of the two signals leads or lags the other by more than that amount, a cycle slip occurs, and the PFD responds nonlinearly. The cycle slip detector provides logic for detecting and indicating leading and lagging cycle slips as they occur in the PDF, and is typically implemented as a minimal arrangement of logic gates and flip-flops.

InactiveUS20110148410A1Specifically designedIncrease freedomElectric/magnetic detectionMeasurements using NMRTransverse magnetizationData acquisition
A method for accelerating data acquisition in MRI with N-dimensional spatial encoding has a first method step in which a transverse magnetization within an imaged object volume is prepared having a non-linear phase distribution. Primary spatial encoding is thereby effected through application of switched magnetic fields. Two or more RF receivers are used to simultaneously record MR signals originating from the imaged object volume, wherein, for each RF receiver, an N-dimensional data matrix is recorded which is undersampled by a factor Ri per selected k-space direction. Data points belonging to a k-space matrix which were not recoded by a selected acquisition schema are reconstructed using a parallel imaging method, wherein reference information concerning receiver coil sensitivities is extracted from a phase-scrambled reconstruction of the undersampled data matrix. The method generates a high-resolution image free of artifacts in a time-efficient manner by improving data sampling efficiency and thereby reducing overall data acquisition time.

A signal under measurement x(t) is transformed into a complex analytic signal zc(t), and an instantaneous phase of the xc(t) is estimated using the zc(t). A linear phase is removed from the instantaneous phase to obtain a phase noise waveform Δφ(t) of the x(t), and the Δφ(t) is sampled at a timing close to a zero-crossing timing of the x(t) to obtain a timing jitter sequence. Then a difference sequence of the timing jitter sequence is calculated to obtain a period jitter sequence. The period jitter sequence is multiplied by a ratio T0 / Tk,k+1 of the fundamental period T0 of the x(t) and the sampling time interval Tk,k+1 to make a correction of the period jitter sequence. A period jitter value of the x(t) is obtained from the corrected period jitter sequence.

For suppression of continuous wave interferers at, e.g., up to four interferer frequencies (f1, f2, f3, f4) in a GNSS receiver base band circuit a raw digital signal is, in a band stop unit (21), shifted, by a first mixer (31a), by the negative of the first interferer frequency (f1) in the frequency domain whereupon the continuous wave interferer is suppressed by a band stop filter (30a), a linear phase FIR filter with a suppression band centered at zero, e.g., a filter subtracting a mean over previous subsequent signal values from the actual signal value. After further shifting of the shifted digital signal by the negative of the difference between the second interferer frequency (f2) and the first interferer frequency (f1) the shifted digital signal is again filtered by an identical band stop filter (30b) and so on. After the last filtering step the shifted digital signal is shifted back to its original position in the frequency domain to provide a filtered digital signal which corresponds to the raw digital signal with narrow interferer bands centered at the interferer frequencies (f1, f2, f3, f4) suppressed.

A method for designing non-linear phase 180° spectral-spatial radio frequency pulses that can be used for spectral editing in magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging. A novel feature of the pulse is a symmetric sweep developed by the spectral profile from the outside edges of the spectral window towards the middle whereby coupled components are tipped simultaneously and over a short interval. Pulses have been designed for lactate editing at 1.5T and 3T. The spectral and spatial spin-echo profiles of the RF pulses can be measured experimentally and altered in an iterative manner. Spectral-spatial radio frequency (SSRF) pulses allow simultaneous selection in both frequency and spatial domains. These pulses are particularly important for clinical and research magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) applications for suppression of large water and lipid resonances.

PMD-insensitive method of chromatic dispersion estimation for a coherent receiver
Consistent with the present disclosure, a method and system for estimating chromatic dispersion of an optical signal in a coherent receiver is provided that is insensitive to polarization mode dispersion (PMD) and other polarization effects in the optical communication system. The effects of chromatic dispersion in the optical system are estimated by first calculating a phase shift between a pair of related frequency domain data outputs of a Fourier transform circuit. The calculated phase shift includes a linear phase component that is proportional to the chromatic dispersion, a DC constant phase component, and a data spectrum component. The calculated phase shift is then averaged over a number of clock cycles to remove the data spectrum components. The time averaged result is used to normalize any effects of PMD from the received signal. A slope of the linear phase component as a function of frequency is then calculated and used to estimate the value for chromatic dispersion. The chromatic dispersion estimate is then used to determine a number of coefficients of an inverse frequency response of the chromatic dispersion in the system, and is used to compensate for the chromatic dispersion.
