Abstract
An analog phase shifter is provided by cascading T high pass filter and .pi. low pass filter sections. The low pass filter network is selected to have a cut-off frequency above the highest frequency in a predetermined frequency range of the phase shifter and includes a fixed inductor element as a series element of the network and a pair of variable capacitor elements disposed in shunt between said inductor element and ground. The high pass filter network has a cut-off frequency below the lowest frequency of the predetermined frequency band. The network includes a fixed inductor element disposed as a shunt element of said network and a pair of variable capacitor elements disposed in series. The inductor element is coupled between a common connection of said pair of variable capacitor elements and the reference potential. The .pi. network and the T network are cascaded connected between the pair of terminals of the network. The voltage level is fed to each one of the variable capacitor elements and provides a variable capacitance in response thereto and thus imparts to said network a variable phase shift over the operating frequency range of the phase shifter.
