Abstract

A system may measure a first sample, of a first signal, using an undersampling signal. The system may measure a second sample, of a second signal, using the undersampling signal. The undersampling signal may have a frequency that is based on a frequency of the first signal or a frequency of the second signal. The system may detect, based on measuring the first sample, a first edge of the first signal. The system may detect, based on measuring the second sample, a second edge of the second signal. The system may determine a delay, associated with the first signal and the second signal, based on detecting the first edge, based on detecting the second edge, based on a first cycle time of the undersampling signal, and based on a second cycle time of the first signal or the second signal.
