symmetricom in "Assignee Name"
Actually Timing Solutions corp would be better choice of assignee as
they developed the concept until swallowed/absorbed by Symmetricom

1 7,436,166 Full-Text Direct digital synthesizer producing a
signal representing an amplitude of a sine wave
2 7,227,346 Full-Text Two channel digital phase detector
3 5,315,566 Full-Text Time scale computation system
4 5,155,695 Full-Text Time scale computation system including
complete and weighted ensemble definition
The second one, to Wayne Solbrig, looks interesting.
The present invention is directed to a digital phase detector that is capable
of being used in a phase measurement system to make very low phase noise
measurements and, in one embodiment, as low as about 180 dB/Hz below the
carrier frequency
It would appear that some folks from Cal Tech and JPL, have used a similar
technique in 7,511,469, for measuring small changes in laser frequencies.

The first 2 are the relevant patents.
You may also find it useful to download the 5125A manual.
This instrument uses subNyquist sampling together with a bank of
switched antialiasing bandpass filters to compare 2 sources over the
1-400MHz frequency range.
There may be additional patents pending for this.
