Hi,
Can anyone point me to a simple code example for how to determine the
phase at a specific time in a waveform?
ex. if I have a sample that is 5 seconds long and want to know the
phase
at 2.5 seconds
I'm open to code in any language or a scripted example if such a tool
exists. If there is an ui which has that feature I am also
interested.
in general, theory i mean, phase equals delay; it can be computed
deterministically iif the signal is a pure tone (sinusoidal) otherwise
you must have a reference signal and referring to its fundamental
frequency (1st order harmonic) or, when in-the-field, you can pick one
conventional signal tone (i've been told that a 1khz is a usual choice:)
and compare to that.
if you are to compare two known signals (often input vs. output of some
lti transformation, eg. filter), than the computation to do is
correlation. well, you should use fft for that, but i'm sure you know that:)
cheers
