Abstract (en)

A phase shifting circuit is disclosed comprising a plurality of bidirectional transmission line segments (31, 35, 37, 39) serially connected to form a ring. Input and output terminals (13, 15) are connected to opposite ends of the first of the transmission line segments (31) to form a first signal path through the ring A second ring signal path, through the remainder of the serially connected transmission line segments (35, 37, 39), is selectively enabled to provide a predetermined phase shift at the output of the ring. By removing series semiconductor devices, the circuit permits higher power signals to be phase shifted over wide frequency ranges.
