Abstract :
A new architecture is proposed for digital phase shifters that is suitable for monolithic integration (MMIC´s). It consists of an arrangement of a standard building block which is a vector summer and limiter repeated many times over the circuit. Examples of phase shifters up to 6 b are given. Other arrangements of these blocks are mentioned, which give rise to new possibilities
