System and method to detect time-delays in non-periodic signals

摘要

A system and method for measuring time delays in a non-periodic system can include receiving a first host signal including transitions deviating from a true periodic signal, removing deviations from the true periodic signal to form a second host signal, detecting a phase of the first host signal and the second host signal relative to a common stable clock signal, and comparing the detected phase of the first host signal and the second host signal to produce a signal indicative of the deviation of the first host signal from the true periodic signal.
