Abstract
Abstract A phase shifting circuit of the type comprising an operational amplifier with a capacitor in its negative feedback path and a resistor in series with its inverting input port is modified to provide adjustable phase shift. Adjustability is achieved by connecting a second capacitor in shunt with the resistor and, furthermore, a series-connected third capacitor and signal-inverting, controllable-gain amplifier also in shunt with the resistor.
