Honored ContributorHow to determine if 2 signals are in quadrature
Hello friends, I need to determine if two signals are precisely on 90 deg. phase. In fact, there is a xor phase comparator and I try to catch lock condition as indicator (for viewing purposes, ...

Honored ContributorXor will help detection of phase difference but can't measure actual difference.
If your signals are two sine waves (sine/cos) and known frequency then try this simple idea: delay one signal one sample at a time until both are equal in phase as indicated by xor and measure your delay relative to frequency to see if it is 1/4 cycle or 3/4 cycle
