Phase shift attenuation circuits, phase shift attenuation network and radio frequency microwave systems

Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a phase shift attenuation circuit, a phase shift attenuation network, and a radio frequency (RF) microwave system. The phase shift attenuation circuit comprises a plurality of first differential circuits electrically connected in sequence; an electrical connection between two adjacent first differential circuits of the plurality of first differential circuits including at least one of a straight-through connection or a connection through an attenuator unit; wherein the phase shift attenuation circuit realizes 8-bit step attenuation through the attenuator unit; 7-bit step attenuation among the 8-bit step attenuation is configured to realize a phase shift function, and the 8-bit step attenuation is configured to realize phase shift and attenuation functions. The phase shift attenuation circuit is constructed based on a differential circuit architecture, and is capable of simultaneously realizing the phase shift and attenuation functions by the same circuit.
