第1出力端子(26)に流れる電流を90度移相する。Next, the operations of the phase shift circuit (11) and the adder circuit (12) will be explained. The phase shift circuit (11) shifts the phase of the input signal according to the control voltage from the control voltage source (14). The operation of the phase shift circuit (11) will be explained using the specific example shown in FIG. In FIG. 3, (16) is a first differential amplifier consisting of first and second transistors (17) and (18);
(19) is the third and fourth transistor (20) and (2
1), (22) and (23) are differentially controlled variable sources, and (24) is a 90 degree phase shift circuit. The first and third transistors (17) and (20) according to the input signal ■1 from the signal source (25)
The changes in the collector currents are in opposite phases to each other, and are added according to the ratio of the current values of the variable current sources (22) and (23). Therefore, if the current values of the variable current sources (22) and (23) are made equal, no output signal is generated at the first output terminal (26). Also, from that state, the variable current source (22) and (
23), the output signal of the first output terminal (26) changes between positive and negative depending on the ratio. The 90 degree phase shift circuit (24) connected to the first output terminal (26) is
The phase of the current flowing to the first output terminal (26) is shifted by 90 degrees.

1出力端子(26)に得られる出力信号の逆相となる。Therefore, if the output signal obtained at the first output terminal (26) is expressed as a vector, it can take any point on the v2 axis in FIG. Note that the output signal obtained at the second output terminal (27) has the opposite phase of the output signal obtained at the first output terminal (26).
従って、第3図の回路によれば入力信号を±90度移相
すると共にレベルを変化することができる。Therefore, according to the circuit shown in FIG. 3, it is possible to phase-shift the input signal by ±90 degrees and change the level.
そこで、差動増幅器(9)、移相回路(11)及び加算
回路(12)の出力信号を各々ベクトルVl。Therefore, the output signals of the differential amplifier (9), the phase shift circuit (11), and the adder circuit (12) are each converted into a vector Vl.

Any point between vector V20 and vector V2 on the two axes can be taken. Therefore, the output vector vO obtained by vector addition of the vector 2 and the vector V1 is obtained from the vector V30 with the vector V1 symmetrical.
It can take any point of phase between 31 and 31.

とができる。In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, since the level ratio between the signal before phase shift and the signal after phase shift in the phase shift circuit (11) is set to 1, the maximum variation width of the vector V30 is 90 degrees. However, if the level ratio is set to 1 or more, it is possible to change the oscillation frequency by up to nearly 180 degrees, and the range of change in the oscillation frequency can be widened.

Further, the gain of the oscillation loop can be sufficiently ensured by increasing the gain of the differential amplifier loop, and stable oscillation can be continued.
