Abstract
A combination of less frequent criticism with positive investigations has resulted in the substitution of group theoretic considerations by a simpler quantum mechanical model, has taken into account homodyne and heterodyne detection schemes, and proceeded by an analysis of phase data processing. Limiting procedures in s-phase formalisms have been provided concentrating on the Wigner function for number and ideal phase. The Wigner function for number and realistic phase has been expressed by closed formulae along with the antinormal phase distributions.Keywords
