PULSED PHASE-DETECTOR

The paper describes a pulsed phase detector used to measure the Farada y effect. The effect of pulse-edge jitter on the measurement accuracy is suppressed by dividing the pulse repetition rate into two in the me asuring and reference channels of the detector. The detector specifica tions are: range of measured phase differences -300...+300-degrees; ti me constant 0.2 sec; sensitivity approximately 0.001-degrees; nonlinea rity of the output voltage as a function of the phase shift, less than 0.5% over the entire dynamic range.
