Digital circuit accurately regulates electromechanical drive mechanism velocity. The gain and phase characteristics of digital circuits are relatively unimportant. Control accuracy depends only on the stability of the input signal frequency.
Determination of phase stability of a high frequency signal using a computer is accomplished by a circuit using two auxiliary oscillators, multipliers and low-pass filters in cross correlation with the oscillator producing the signal of interest.
