Anyone have ideas regarding how to implement a voltage-variable phase
shifter useable at 210MHz?

Do you want to buy it as a part, or build it into one of your IC
designs? How much phase shift do you need?

There are tons of analog IQ modulator chips around, some with a
built-in 90 degree phase shifter. They can do full the 360 degrees if
you apply sin/cos multiplier inputs.


Crikey! Why didn't I think of that... marvelous! Thanks for the
pointer!


Small phase shifts can be done with a varicap RC or LC network. Or an
RC or LC shifter and a multiplier or two.

Extreme: an inductor-varicap variable-delay transmission line. The
HP8133A had several, insanely long ones.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
