Phase distortion
Encyclopedia : P : PH : PHA : Phase distortion
Phase distortion: Distortion that occurs when (a) the phase-frequency characteristic is not linear over the frequency range of interest, i.e., the phase shift introduced by a circuit or device is not directly proportional to frequency, or (b) the zero-frequency intercept of the phase-frequency characteristic is not 0 or an integral multiple of 2π radians.
Synonym phase-frequency distortion.
