Abstract:
A phase logic device for use with coherent periodic waveforms comprising:a) a first data input signal and a second data input signal, wherein said data input signals are coherent signals; b) a first control input signal, a second control input signal, and a third control input signal, wherein said control input signals are coherent signals for regulating the predetermined logic operation of said device; c) a mixing stage for receiving said data input signals, said first and second control input signals, and producing a first intermediate signal and a second intermediate signal that have three unique states; and d) a logic stage for receiving said intermediate signals and said third control input signal and producing at least one coherent data output signal, wherein the phase value of each said input signal and said at least one output signal is selected from a set containing at least two phase values.
