APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PHASE SHIFTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17958340 titled 'APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PHASE SHIFTING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a phase shifter that can manipulate the phase of an input clock signal by generating two signals with a specific phase relationship.

  • The phase shifter includes an input to receive an input clock signal with a certain frequency and phase.
  • It utilizes a quadrature phase-shift generator to produce two signals based on the input clock signal, with one signal having a phase based on the input phase and the other signal shifted by a quadrature phase.
  • The phase shifter has an output that provides an output based on the two generated signals.

Potential Applications

The technology could be used in:

  • Telecommunications for signal processing and modulation.
  • Radar systems for beamforming and phased array antennas.

Problems Solved

  • Allows for precise control of phase in electronic systems.
  • Enables efficient signal processing and modulation techniques.

Benefits

  • Improved signal quality and accuracy.
  • Enhanced performance in communication systems.

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Telecommunication equipment manufacturers.
  • Radar system developers.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be traditional phase shifters using analog components to achieve phase manipulation.

Original Abstract Submitted

For example, a phase shifter may include an input to receive an input clock signal having an input frequency and an input phase. For example, the phase shifter may include a quadrature phase-shift generator configured to generate a first signal and a second signal based on the input clock signal, the first and second signals having the input frequency, wherein a phase of the first signal is based on the input phase, wherein a phase of the second signal is shifted by a quadrature phase-shift relative to the phase of the first signal. For example, the phase shifter may include an output to provide an output based on the first signal and the second signal.
