Phase shift
Phase shift
|
The displacement of a waveform in time. Some electrical components introduce phase shift into a signal, and the shift is of the same angle for all frequencies. This means that each frequency is displaced differently and distortion occurs. Electrical cancellation may occur when two equal signals are out of phase by 180 degrees. |
