ABSTRACT:
A signal processing apparatus is provided for processing first and second periodic analog signals having the same period and having a fixed phase relationship therebetween. The apparatus includes an A/D converter for converting respective amplitudes of the first and second periodic analog signals into first and second digital signals. The apparatus also includes a phase digitizer for generating a signal from the first periodic analog signal, the generated signal having a period that is shorter than the period of the first periodic analog signal, and a high speed signal processing portion for generating from the generated signal a periodicity and first phase information of the first periodic analog signal. The apparatus further includes a another signal processor for producing second phase information of the first periodic analog signal from the first and second digital signals, and for correcting the periodicity on the basis of the first phase information and the second phase information.
