Abstract

At the time of analog-to-digital conversion by sampling of a sine-wave signal having a frequency F by means of a clock signal having a frequency 4nF where n is a whole number, these two signals exhibit a residual phase error .PHI.. The method for correcting the converted digital signal according to the invention consists in delaying this signal by n periods of the clock signal in a shift register, in multiplying the undelayed signal by cos .PHI., in multiplying the delayed signal by sin .PHI. and in transmitting the results to an adder.
