ABSTRACT:
A Phase shifter for generating a phase-shifted, in particular phase-delayed, output signal from an input signal is disclosed. In one embodiment, the phase shifter includes a first delay line and at least one further delay line with respectively cascaded delay elements that form a U-shaped signal path along which at least one delay element is adapted to be controlled to be optionally opening or closing. A phase discriminator located at the input side of which a clock signal and a signal from one of the delay lines can be applied, and the output side of which is connected with a respective control input of the delay elements. The clock signal can also be applied to the first delay line, so that a feedback loop is formed by the phase discriminator and at least one of the delay lines. The input signal can be applied to the delay line whose signal output is not connected with the phase discriminator, and the output signal can be output therefrom.
