How do you shift the Phase of an analog signal.
With digital its so easy, you just put a delay of couple of usecs
and you get a phase shifted signal.
How do you do it in analog?

There are several ways of shifting the
phase of an analog signal:
1. Use the appropriate length of cable:
90 degrees is one-quarter wavelength (don't forget to include the velocity
factor of the cable!)
2. Artificial delay lines are also a possibility
at frequencies low enough that a piece of cable would be unreasonably
long. These simulate a piece of cable by series / parallel C circuits,
cascaded. Other kinds of LC networks are also possible if you don't
want constant time delay.
3. RC Networks: the phase shift is
45 degrees at f = 1/(2 pi RC) for a simple two-component high-pass or
low-pass. More complicated networks can be used to shape phase as a
function of frequency.
Obviously, some techniques (RC) are lossy,
some (transmission lines) have very little loss.
Good Luck!

Are you aware of any manufactureres that make Delay
lines for analog signals. It should be variable delay, not one of those
fixed -10%, 20% delays.
Thanks.

I haven't
checked their recent catalogs, but Data Delay Devices Inc. used to make
such things.
Good Luck

i found a new way
- using an all pass filter to delay the phase. I can change the phase
by varying the resistace. Only problem is the output amplitude is not
constant at my frequency - 6Mhz.
It works fine in the Khz range.
