The changing of phase of a signal as it passes through a filter. 2, record 2, English, - phase%20shift
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
A delay in time of the signal is referred to as phase lag and in normal networks, phase lag increases with frequency, producing a positive envelope delay... It is possible for an output signal to experience a time shift ahead of the input signal and this is called "phase lead. "The phase shift is always dependent on frequency. 2, record 2, English, - phase%20shift

The drift rate in a single-degree-of-freedom gyro resulting from coherent oscillatory rates about the spin reference axis (SRA) and output reference axis (ORA). 2, record 3, English, - spin%2Doutput%2Drectification%20drift%20rate
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
It occurs only when gyro and loop dynamics allow the float motion to lag case motion when subjected to a rate about the output reference axis, resulting in a cross coupling of the spin reference axis rate. This drift rate is a function of the input rate amplitudes and the phase angle between them. 2, record 3, English, - spin%2Doutput%2Drectification%20drift%20rate
