The keyword is DIY. A +/-45 degree IIR phase shifter is typical numeric
optimization problem (minimizing error vector magnitude). For the audio
purposes, you will likely need a filter of the order of 6...8.

I said "network" when I should have said "filter".

Yes. But hopefully you won't need nearly as many as you would for the
Hilbert transform.

Good question! I dunno -- or at least I don't know any structured ways.
If I needed to do his I'd search around on the web for a bit, then I'd
fiddle around with Scilab to find a set of coefficients that really
seemed to work.

I don't know -- I'm not familiar with what the author's trying to say,
and my brief perusal of the site didn't really make anything jump out at
me. I _can_ say that his "Polyphase IIR" is not the same thing as the
usual "polyphase filter" -- so don't get confused if you run across that
term and it seems to be a different animal.

Do you need to implement control loops in software?
"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" was written for you.

Hmmm make sure your Hilbert transformer thingy has the right number of
turns.

Hello jungledmnc,
I don't know if you have access to IEEE articles,
but Clay Turner has an article titled:

"An Efficient Analytic Signal Generator"

in the "DSP Tips and Tricks" column of the July 2009
issue of the IEEE Signal Processing Magazine.

Good Luck,
