Hi

Is anyone aware of a circuit that could provide a phase shift independent of frequency?
I have thought of doing it digitally but the number of components needed are ridicules.

Thank you

What's your purpose?

How much phase shift? Over what frequency range?
 
...and do you mean a constant phase shift in terms of number of micro/nano seconds, or a constant phase shift in terms of % of period?
 
A standard audio treble attenuator based on an R C circuit produces a phase shift that is dependent on frequency: 1 radian per neper, or 6.6 degrees per dB. This distorts the sound quality of the audio. How can we eliminate the phase shift?
