Abstract

Abstract A system for delaying sampled signals including a circulating memory having a delay circuit in which the delay time unit is designed Td; a sampling circuit for producing a sampling pulse train having a period Ts, wherein Td and Ts are each equal to an integer-multiple of the duration of the sampled signal circulating in the circulating memory, and the delay time unit Td is not equal to an integer-multiple of the sampling period Ts; a read-right circuit for entering and withdrawing sampled pulses to and from the memory; an output circuit for receiving signals readout of the memory; and a control timing circuit for generating pulses to operate these various circuits. The sampled signals which are delayed by the circulating memory are derived from the circulating memory at least at predetermined times at each of which an integer-multiple of the delay time unit Ts and an integer-multiple of the sampled period Ts coincide with each other. The sampled signals delayed may be derived from the circulating memory at each of the predetermined times only, or at plural times a predetermined period from one of the predetermined times and the just succeeding one of the predetermined times.
