I am using a multiplier phase detector like here 1to find the phase difference between two phase shifted sine signals, and I got the value of magnitude but how to find if the signal 2 is leading/laging wrt signal 1? The cosine would give a positive value for both negative and positive angles.

I also thought of checking the first sample point of both signal 1 and signal 2 to see which has greater magnitude and deduce a conclusion based on that. if (signal 1 > signal 2 => sig 2 is lagging and vice versa).

But I am trying to implement this in a stm32 and I am for some reason, not being able to do that. Is there any other robust way?

  • \$\begingroup\$ One method might be to invert one of your inputs and add the samples. The difference represents the phase difference. Basically the sum of two sines 180deg apart is 0. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Yes, but i will be using this in a PLL(DDS + PI loop) and in Real time to constantly phase compensate. The phase is shifting towards zero but then it slips towards other direction. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Normally you’d compare zero crossings and determine which signal is leading or lagging, but nevertheless, what I described will do much the same \$\endgroup\$
