Method and device for determining at least one corrective value for an actual phase value to be corrected and also for determining a resulting phase value

A method for determining at least one corrective value for an actual phase value to be corrected, which is determinable from a quadrature signal pair which comprises a first signal and another signal, comprising the steps:

• a) Determining actual phase values specific to the sampling points for at least two sampling points, wherein the sampling points are respectively arranged spaced apart from each other by an integer multiple of a period length of the signals,
• b) Determining an estimated curve of a phase value trajectory depending on the actual phase values specific to the sampling points,
• c) Determining a target frequency distribution of phase values depending on the estimated curve, and
• d) Determining an actual frequency distribution of actual phase values,
• e) wherein for at least one selected actual phase value, a target phase value is determined in such a way that the cumulative frequencies specific to the phase values, determined based on the distributions, are identical, wherein the difference between the target and the actual phase value is determined as a corrective value specific to the actual phase value, wherein the corrective value is determined depending on this corrective value specific to the actual phase value.
