Abstract

The phase response of a network is measured at uniform frequency intervals. A linear regression analysis is performed on samples of the phase response measured at frequencies within an aperture centered on a group delay frequency to obtain an estimate of the group delay of the network at that frequency. The process is repeated for a sequence of group delay frequencies to determine a trace of the group delay of the network across a range of frequencies.
