Abstract
A method for determining phase difference of tracking error (TE) signal is disclosed. The method includes following steps. An optical disc drive is activated to generate a TE signal. Amplitudes of the master push pull (MPP) signal, the secondary push pull (SPP) signal and the TE signal are measured. The phase difference between the MPP signal and the SPP signal of the TE signal is quickly calculated according to the law of cosine.

A method for determining a phase difference of a tracking error signal, comprising:
- activating an optical disc drive to generate the tracking error signal;
- measuring an amplitude of a master push pull signal;
- measuring an amplitude of a secondary push pull signal;
- measuring an amplitude of the tracking error signal;
- calculating the phase difference according to the law of cosine:
- cos β=[(MPP2+SPP2)−TE2]/[2MPP*SPP], wherein β indicates the phase difference, MPP indicates the amplitude of the master push pull signal, SPP indicates the amplitude of the secondary push pull signal, and TE indicates the amplitude of the tracking error signal.
