Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide apparatus for producing an output signal that may have a phase difference with respect to an input signal. One example phase shifting circuit for producing such an output signal generally includes a transmission line having first and second points, an impedance connected with a node and with a reference voltage level, a first switch connected with the first point of the transmission line and with the node, and a second switch connected with the second point of the transmission line and with the node, wherein a first signal input to the first point of the transmission line has a phase difference with a second signal output from the second point based on one or more properties of the transmission line when the first and second switches are open.
