With single-stage RC circuit used as phase-shifting network, the paper improved the unit circuit of waveform-transforming in low frequency phase instrument: used inphase-input hysteresis comparator circuit to improve the capability of anti-jamming, used the circuit of phase-detection by half-frequency to realize precise pulse of phase-detection,used amplifier circuit of phase-shifting signal to realize the measurement of phase difference from 5Hz to 20kHz, the technique of automatic gain control was inducted further, a gain-controllable amplifier composed of operational amplifier and analog switch was introduced. The simulation results of the output waveform and the phase difference of the original and improved circuit based on 400Hz and 40Hz in Multisim 10 show that the performance indicators of the improved circuit meet the design requirements, the measuring accuracy of phase difference is improved.
