  • Radio frequency comparator waveguide system
    Patent number: 9112255
    Abstract: A phase shifting component of a waveguide comparator subsystem can effect a relative phase shift that advances an input signal A relative to an input signal B. A comparator component can then split those signals such that a first part of signal A and a second part of signal B are combined at a difference port, and a first part of signal B and a second part of signal A are combined at a sum port. The comparator can delay the phase of the second parts of the signals such that, with the relative phase shift of the phase shifting component, the first part of signal A and the second part of signal B are one-hundred eighty degrees (180°) out of phase at the difference port, and the second part of signal A and the first part of signal B are in phase at the sum port.
