If I understand this right, it provides for maximum range for the GB adjustment pot. Plus, ideal ferrite would be rejected when the Rx signal zero crossing occurs at the center of the sample pulse.
I'm trying to find a link where the 20 degree phase shift theory comes from, so maybe someone else can answer.
The GB setting is critical in that advancing the GB pot too far, you will suddenly reject thin silver. So.. you may want to set your GB pot to where a ferrite slug is just breaking up. With a PCB mounted GB pot, I start fully CCW and advance CW until ferrite is rejected. Actual ground conditions were I live allow me to set the GB pot several degrees CCW from where ferrite is rejected.
