ABSTRACT:
A variable phase shifting circuit comprising a phase splitter for distributing an input signal supplied thereto into first and second output signals which are outputted therefrom and 90 degrees out of phase each other, a first double balanced differential amplifier to which the first output signal from said phase splitter is delivered as a first input signal, a second double balanced differential amplifier to which the second output signal from said phase splitter is delivered as a second input signal, a summer for summing the respective first and second output signals from said first and second double balanced differential amplifiers to output the summed result, a converter for converting a control input supplied thereto to a differential current, first logarithmic conversion means for converting said differential current of said converter to a first logarithmic voltage, circular function conversion means for converting said differential current of said converter to a circular function current, and second logarithmic conversion means for converting said circular function current of said circular function conversion means to a second logarithmic voltage, thus to control the gain of said first double balanced differential amplifier respective to said first logarithmic voltage, and to control the gain of said second double balanced differential amplifier responsive to said second logarithmic voltage, thereby to provide a phase controlled output signal from said summer.
