Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an amplifier. Background Technology
[0002] In analog signal processing, it is often necessary to adjust the phase angle of the signal during operation. This is achieved by controllably changing the circuit parameters to induce a phase shift in the signal, thereby adjusting the phase of the signal while keeping the circuit gain (amplification factor) constant.
[0003] For example, in a high-precision inductive synchro angle measurement system, it is necessary to keep the phases of the sine and cosine output signals of the two-phase excitation power supply constant. Since the distortion error of the two signals is required to be small at the same time, multi-stage filtering is required, including bandpass filtering. The combined effect of various factors and filtering stages causes the two-phase signals to drift with time and temperature, and the phases of the two phases also change uncontrollably. Through the phase detection stage (phase detector), the drift difference of the two phase angles is detected. That is, the two sine wave (sine and cosine) signals that were originally 90° out of phase are no longer 90° out of phase after the phase drift, but are at an angle near 90°. The phase detection result is used to drive an amplifier with controllable phase shift and constant gain to shift the phases of the two sine signals so that the two phases still maintain a 90° phase difference.
[0004] In analog signal processing circuits, there are various methods to achieve phase shifting. For example, phase shifting can be achieved in a phase-locked loop (PLL). Different resistors are often used to complete analog signal processing. Digital methods mainly achieve phase shifting by adding or subtracting frequency divider pulses. These methods cannot continuously and automatically adjust the phase, and analog phase shifting schemes are often accompanied by gain changes. Utility Model Content

The circuit described above achieves phase shifting of an analog signal with constant gain. The phase is adjusted via the photoresistor R3, eliminating mechanical contacts, resulting in fast response and long lifespan. The overall circuit structure is simple, easy to debug, and suitable for phase fine-tuning in analog signal processing systems.
