Abstract

A variable digital phase-shifter comprises a variable-propagation-time phase corrector consisting of a nonrecursive transversal digital filter having a predetermined even number N of coefficients. The filter is coupled with an amplitude corrector consisting of a nonrecursive transversal digital bandpass filter with an odd number of coefficients, a multiplier and a summing circuit for correcting the variations in gain of the phase corrector in order to obtain an approximately constant overall gain of the variable digital phase-shifter.
