Unity-gain frequency-independent precision phase-shifter

The letter describes an operational amplifier circuit which gives a constant (±0.1°) phase shift and a constant (±0.1%) unity gain to a sinusoidal signal, over a frequency band of range ±2%. The circuit incorporates two standard phase-shifters with different characteristics, deployed so that their phase errors mutually cancel as the frequency deviates from its central value. The device has been used as a phase-shifter in a precise negative phase sequence current measurement circuit in a power system.
