Abstract:
An apparatus is disclosed for phase-shifting signals. In example implementations, the apparatus includes a phase shifter. The phase shifter includes a first port, a second port, a vector modulator coupled to the first port, and a signal phase generator. The signal phase generator includes multiple amplifiers coupled between the vector modulator and the second port. The signal phase generator also includes multiple capacitors that couple the multiple amplifiers together to form a loop. Each respective capacitor of the multiple capacitors is coupled between a respective pair of consecutive amplifiers of the multiple amplifiers to form the loop.
