Abstract
A phase-shift network may include a lattice network including a first capacitor coupling a first circuit node to a second circuit node, a second capacitor coupling a third circuit node to a fourth circuit node, and a first inductor coupling the first circuit node to the fourth circuit node. A first coupled section may couple a single-ended input node to the lattice network. A second coupled section may couple the lattice network to a single-ended output node. Each coupled section may include a plurality of conductors that may form a transmission line, such as a coaxial transmission line or a stripline. A high-pass circuit may couple the input node to the first coupled section. A phase difference network may include a signal divider producing two intermediate signals coupled to respective phase-shift networks producing output signals having substantially constant phase difference over a frequency range.
