This coplanar differential bi-strip delay line (30) comprises two conducting strips (32, 34) disposed on one and the same face (36) of a dielectric substrate and each comprising a first and a second end (E′1, E′2, S′1, S′2). The two first ends (E′1, E′2) of the two conducting strips are respectively joined to two conductors of a first bi-strip port (38) for connection to a first external differential device. The two second ends (S′1, S′2) of the two conducting strips are respectively joined to two conductors of a second bi-strip port (40) for connection to a second external differential device. It is furthermore devised so as to exhibit in the form of a printed circuit structural discontinuities (32B, 32C, 32D, 34B, 34C, 34D) which generate at least one impedance jump and at least one capacitive coupling with interdigitated capacitance between its two conducting strips (32, 34) so as to reproduce a predetermined phase shift, the interdigitated capacitance being formed by at least one pair of conducting fingers (32D, 34D) joined respectively by one of their ends to the two conducting strips.
