31Phase inversion — A phase inversion is the introduction of a phase difference of 180° into a waveform. As such, it is more properly called a polarity inversion, as phase can differ relative to frequency but polarity is absolute.For example, in a push pull power… …

34Phase switch — A phase switch is a device used to increase the discrimination and sensitivity of an interferometer, especially at radio frequencies; an extra half wave path difference is switched in, at well defined frequency, between the two interfering signal …
35Phase shift — F/A/V The displacement of a waveform in time. Some electrical components introduce phase shift into a signal. When various frequencies are displaced differently, distortion occurs. Electrical cancellation may occur when two equal signals are out… …
36Phase inversion — A&V The condition whereby the output of a circuit produces a wave of the same shape and frequency but 180 degrees out of phase with the input …
37Phase distortion synthesis — is a synthesis method introduced in 1984 by Casio in its CZ range of synths, and similar to Frequency modulation synthesis in the sense that they are both built on phase modulation. Basically a sine wave is played, but by modifying the phase… …
