摘要:
A phase shifter, which can switch between a phase delay circuit and a phase leading circuit consisting of inductors and capacitors, is constituted by disposing FETs having inductors or capacitors arranged in parallel with the source and drain electrodes of each FET connected and controlling a bias voltage to be applied to the gate electrodes of the FETs to switch between the on and off conditions of the FETs. Thus, a phase shifter obtained has a small frequency characteristic.

A phase interpolator includes a first circuit to generate a first signal (PHINO) having a first phase delay and a second signal (PHINl) having a second phase delay and a phase mixer (105). The phase mixer (105) is coupled to receive the first and second signals from the first circuit. The phase mixer (105) includes multiple current drivers (510) each including a current driver input coupled to selectively delay one of the first or second signals and a current driver output coupled to output a phase delayed signal. The current driver outputs (01) of the current drivers (510) are coupled together to combine the phase delayed signals from the current drivers to generate an output phase delayed signal having a phase interpolated from the first (PHINO) and second signals.
