ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an apparatus for precise modulation of signal phase and signal delay, respectively, and signal amplitude, comprising a first fixed-delay device having its input coupled to an input signal, a first variable delay device having its input coupled to said input signal and having a control input for delay adjustment, a first amplitude control device in series with the first variable delay device, providing at its output an amplitude controlled signal and having a control input for adjusting the output amplitude, a phase detector with linear characteristic having its two inputs connected to the output of the fixed-delay device and the output of the first amplitude control device, an error measurement device having its negative input connected to the output of the phase detector and its positive input connected to a control signal, an amplifier with low-pass characteristic having its input connected to the output of the error measurement device and its output to the control input of the first variable delay device.
