Digital Phase Adjuster Circuit

I am currently working on a college project (on PSK)
In order to decode a PSK 'transmission', I need to be able to 'correct' the phase of a squarewave signal(f=4500Hz).
Is there a simple circuit I can use which will vary the phase of such a signal ( 0 - 180 degrees)?

Thanks

Since you have the waveform in squarewave form, it should be easy to convert to logic level. Then send this to a settable digital delay to adjust the phase.

Ten years ago I programmed a Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) to variably delay the phase of a 2400 Hz tone 0-180 degrees with 1 degree resolution. Very precise and repeatable. A microcontroller or DSP could do this too, or use a tapped digital delay line.

If you must stay analog, try a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) IC.

Good luck! Kevin VanZuilen "KevinVZ"

for more info and specifics to your task. It appears that more info is needed whether your square wave is supposed to be phase shift self-correcting or phase shift compensating for a phase shift keyed message phase 0-180° phase variations and how fast variations. The phase shift may vary in time.
