  • Patent number: 5939918
    Abstract: An electronic phase shifter splits an input signal into two signals whose amplitudes are set by a weighting circuit controlled by a phase shift control signal. Each of the two outputs of the weighting circuit is loaded with an RLC resonator, one tuned to a frequency lower than that of the input signal and one tuned to a frequency higher than that of the input signal. The loaded outputs are recombined in a vector summing network to synthesize the required phase shifted output signal. This technique permits implementation on a monolithic integrated circuit (MIC) with high gain at high frequencies (e.g. 10 GHz). It also allows a large dynamic range of operation and a large (i.e., greater than 90 degrees) controllable phase shift. This is accomplished without the use of variable reactance elements or any other components external to the MIC.
