A phase shifting network with multiple outputs between which a constant phase difference is maintained over a large frequency range. The configuration consists of a four branch all pass network which in turn consists of four similar all pass networks one in each branch. An in phase and an out of phase input signal are applied to this network and four signals in phase quadrature, 0 DEG , 90 DEG , 180 DEG , and 270 DEG may be obtained from the network. The network is designed for operation at frequencies of micro and millimeter wavelengths and may be realized from resistive and capacitive elements fabricated upon a common monolithic substrate. A suitable substrate is gallium arsenide, permitting both passive and active elements to be formed and interconnected by lithographic techniques.
