This paper presents some of the more topical results of a study into the LISA phase measurement system. This system is responsible for measuring the phase of the heterodyne signal caused by the interference of the laser beams between the local and far spacecraft. Interactions with the LISA systems that surround the phase measurement system imply additional non-trivial requirements on the phase measurement system.
