Just to say I'm in the same boat, let me ask some "is there any easy way to do that" Is there an easy way to shift an AC signal by 90 degrees? In principal, it seems like such an easy thing. However, I understand how principal and reality often differ. In principal, it should be easy to live with a woman that you love. In practice, they make it very difficult at times (like mine, right now). In the land of 60 Hz and big wire where I live when I am not here, we can attach an inductive or capacitive load to the AC voltage and cause the current to lead or lag the voltage by some percentage (depending on how capacitive or inductive the load. It would seem to me any voltage developed across the resistive part of that load would be in phase with that current, and hence shifted some from the original voltage. What am I missing here? Larry H
