Abstract
Systems and methods for a variable delay line using variable capacitors in a time delay filter are provided. In at least one embodiment, a delay line is configured to apply an adjustable time delay to an electromagnetic signal travelling through the delay line. The delay line comprises a filter that includes a first variable capacitor. Further, a capacitance of the first variable capacitor is configured to adjust the delay applied to the electromagnetic signal travelling through the delay line when varied.
