Abstract :
We present a novel broadband phase-shifter based on a transversal filter configuration. This approach allows flexible control of the amplitude response while providing continuous variation of a linear phase slope. Numerical examples, both ideal and using practical RF components are presented and practical challenges in realising the phase-shifter are identified.
