Circuit for correcting group delay at microwave frequencies

A microwave frequency group delay corrector circuit comprising a complex impedance for performing group delay correction by reflection of the microwave on said complex impedance, a power divider comprising first, second and third ports, said first port normally functioning as an inlet port, said second and third ports being isolated from each other and normally functioning as outlet ports, said complex impedance being connected to said first port, said inlet microwave being applied to one said second and third ports and an outlet microwave being taken from the other of said second and third ports of the power divider, whereby the group delay corrector is easy to adjust, since it employs a single complex impedance and since the power divider is a passive component, imparts very little residual group delay, thereby facilitating adjustment for a small delay, the amplitude transmission curve of the power divider is flat, and the corrector circuit is inexpensive and easy to integrate.
