phase shifting

Signal timing adjustment

Phase shifting is altering the timing of a wave or signal relative to a reference point.

In electronics and audio, phase shifting changes when a waveform peaks and troughs, creating effects like flanging or used in noise cancellation.

In power systems, it adjusts the relationship between alternating currents.

Figuratively, phase shifting suggests a deliberate change in timing or approach: The company is phase shifting its strategy to focus on emerging markets.
