Broadband phase shifters (SF) are designed for linear transformation - "splitting" - of a low-frequency signal in order to obtain two signals with constant amplitude and phase shift (most often 90 degrees) in a wide frequency range. In amateur radio practice, such phase shifters are used in musical acoustics to obtain synthetic unisons and stereophony, in sound systems to suppress parasitic acoustic feedback.

In the technical literature, broadband phase shifters are found under the names of a broadband quadrature filter and broadband difference circuits [1, 2]. In the same publications, methods for calculating such devices are presented. Initial parameters for calculation: frequency overlap ratio, required constant phase shift between signals (phase-difference characteristic) and the maximum allowable deviation (error) of this shift. The more stringent these requirements, the more complex the phase shifter circuit.

You can find descriptions of various broadband phase shifters containing active elements (microcircuits). However, in practice, phase shifters on resistors and capacitors are most often used. Below we consider similar devices, assembled only on passive elements, as providing maximum reliability. An exception is the input phase splitter on one transistor, which provides power to the device with two antiphase signals of the same amplitude. If necessary, this active element can also be replaced by a low-frequency transformer with a low output impedance.

The phase shifter, the circuit of which is shown in fig. 1, provides a phase shift between the output signals of 90 degrees in the frequency band 50 ... 10000 Hz with an error of no more than 3 degrees. The voltage transfer coefficient of the phase shifter is approximately 0,4.
Subsequent input circuits must be high-resistance - at least a few megaohms. After setting the linear mode of operation of the transistor VT1, equal values ​​of the amplitude of the alternating voltage at the emitter and collector are achieved by selecting resistor R1 (the base circuits are not shown in the diagram).

The diagram shows the standard values ​​​​of the elements of the phase shifter, and in table. 1 - the exact values ​​of the resistance of the resistors and the capacitance of the capacitors These elements must be selected with an accuracy of at least 1%. TKE capacitors should be no worse than M150. It is desirable to provide for the possibility of selection within a small range of resistors R10, R11 and capacitors C7, C8.

The constant voltage across the resistors R10, R11, coming from the emitter and collector of the transistor VT1, can be used to set the mode of subsequent steps. In this case, the constant and variable components of the voltage must, of course, be separated.

The need for the use and characteristics of filters that suppress the frequency components below and above the phase shifter band are determined for each specific case separately.

The described broadband phase shifter (see Fig. 1) is used in a frequency spectrum shifter that implements spatial unison vibrato, also known as "two-point unison" [3]. The same publication gives recommendations on the use of such devices in musical acoustics.

In table. Figure 2 shows the exact values ​​of the resistance of the resistors and the capacitance of the capacitors of a more advanced phase shifter assembled according to the circuit in Figure 1. This phase shifter provides a phase shift of 90 degrees, in a frequency band of 200 ... 10000 Hz with an accuracy of about 1 degree. Elements must be selected with an accuracy of no worse than ±1%. and capacitors - to have a TKE no worse than the M150.

In some cases, it becomes necessary to use a broadband phase shifter with a phase shift of 120 degrees. On fig. 2 shows a diagram of a phase shifter that provides such a phase shift in the frequency band 200 ... 6800 Hz with an error of about 3 degrees. The standard values ​​​​of the elements are indicated in the diagram, and the exact values ​​\u3b\uXNUMXbof the resistance of resistors and capacitor capacitances are in Table. XNUMX. Requirements for radio elements are similar to those indicated above.

Broadband phase shifters

The third phase with a shift of 240 degrees is obtained by summing two signals of equal amplitude, shifted in phase by 120 degrees, and inverting the total voltage. The principle of obtaining a voltage with a phase shift of 240 degrees is illustrated by a vector diagram in fig. 3.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>
