A 90 degree phase shift over a wide frequency range is not easy to realize
because the phase shift of a normal phase shifter is not constant over the
frequency but depends upon the frequency! It's the function of the dome
filters in the (obsolete) A-126 frequency shifter. In the A-126 we used a
12-stage allpass filter to approximate a 90 degrees phase shift in the
frequency range 6 Hz ... 12 kHz with +/-2 degrees error. It's very difficult
to adjust a dome filter as the phase shift of each all pass affects the
others too. It took more than 30 minutes to adjust the dome filter of the
A-126.

180 and 270 degrees can be achieved by intverting the signal (180) or the 90
degree signal (270).
