Removing/creating phase lag or lead in circuit

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on synchronizing a square wave with a sine wave, specifically shifting the square wave's transition to align with the sine wave's 0-degree point. The current setup has the square wave transitioning at 130 degrees, causing a timing issue. Participants suggest that understanding the circuit's design, including the waveform generation and load, is crucial for finding a solution. There are inquiries about alternative methods for generating a 100kHz sine wave and the potential use of chips for waveform shaping, such as Schmitt triggers. Overall, the goal is to achieve precise timing between the two waveforms for better circuit performance.

My square wave is lagging/leading the sine wave (depending how you interpret it). i want to make the transition of my square wave be at 0 deg for the sine wave. right now the square wave transitions at 130 deg of the sine wave

how can i shift this so that it transitions only at 0 deg or 360 deg. is there some things you can do in the circuit?

Thanks

We would need to know the nature of the circuit -- what the waveform generation circuit looks like, and what the load is for each waveform.
 
one is a sine wave
the other is a square wave.
at the rising edge of sine, i want the square to rise too.
right now, as the square wave rises, the sine wave is at 124deg (ie decreasing)

the load? comes out from an op-amp, just resistors to gnd

between, i generated the sine from a clock oscillator, filter it out to get the sine. any other easier way? I need to generate something around 100kHz and the controller i am using now is not capable of putting out a DAC that will go that fast.
also are there any chips to clean up my square that will put out +- Vout much like a schmitt trigger only capable of putting out -ve Vout

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
