Decelerate phase-shifted signal in order to evaluate with lower-cost components. e.g. for laser distance measurement.
Add both input signals to a slightly faster or slower frequency.
The result is an amplitude modulated harmonic, which is then rectified and smoothed.
The output has two slower frequencies with an equivalent phase shift.

The left circuit is a simple phase shifter to test the devider circuit.
