ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for delaying an electrical signal includes a sequence of stages, each for delaying the signal. A coarser stage delays the signal by multiples of a predetermined fundamental delay interval and a finer stage provides for fine adjustment of the delay. The fine stage includes an integral number N of delay elements, the total providing a delay interval greater than the fundamental delay interval, whereby the fine delay intervals compensate for fabrication tolerances to enable accurate calibration of the combined system by post-fabrication measurement. In one implementation each delay stage includes a tapped transmission line to provide delay intervals, in another a ramp generator is used.
