phase inversion
Telecommunications
Introduction of a phase difference of 180°. Note: Phase inversion may occur with a random or periodic, symmetrical or non-symmetrical waveform, although it is usually produced by the inversion of a symmetrical periodic signal, resulting in a change in sign. A symmetrical periodic signal represented by f (t) = Ae j
t, after phase inversion, becomes f1(t) = Ae j(
t+
), where t is time, A is the magnitude of the vector,
is angular frequency (
= 2
f ), where f is the frequency and
3.1416 and e
2.7183. The algebraic sum of f (t) and f1(t) will always be zero.
