Abstract
Two current outputs are converted into voltage outputs by I/V converters, and further converted into digital outputs D,and D,by binarizing circuits. The outputs are added by an adder in a phase shifter, and converted into an output like a triangular wave by an integrator. The output like a triangular wave is compared with a reference in a binarizing circuit and, therefore, it is possible to shift the phase from the median of the phase differential between the two signals by 90 deg with high precision.
