Abstract

A quadrature signal generator capable of phase-tuning with respect to all of four generated quadrature signals. The quadrature signal generator includes four phase tuning units each having two input terminals, one receiving a differential signal, the other being grounded, and changing a phase of the differential signal to thereby generate quadrature signals. Accordingly, it is possible to tune phases of all the four generated quadrature signals. It is also possible to prevent the amplitude of quadrature signals from being deviated from a reference value.
