Abstract

Abstract

Through theoretical analysis and experiments, we discovered the quantized phase step technique existing in two cyclical movements, and the variation law of phase difference between two different frequency signals. This discovery is a major breakthrough in the traditional phase processing for researching frequency signals or cyclical movements that widely exist in nature. It has realized direct phase comparison between any signals without frequency normalization. Experimental results show that the resolution with femtosecond (fs) can be easily achieved in frequency measurement, frequency standard comparison and control on the basis of the quantized phase step characteristics. This important discovery can be widely used in navigation positioning, space technique, communication, radar, astronomy, atomic frequency standard and so on.
