Finding tphl and tplh for each path assuming tphl = 0.30 ns and tplh = 0.50 ns, for each gate. From these values, find tpd for each path.
(b) Using tpd = 0.40 ns for each gate,
(c) Compare your answers in part (a) and (b) and discuss any difference.

How can variable gate delays be created in which the delays vary linearly over 1/4 of a period?
I don't know how variable delays can be used in practice, but once upon a time we had a number of fixed delays using a tapped delay line. There were at least two types, acoustic and magneto strictive. It's probably been 50 years since I've last seen one. We also used them for variable storage, kind of like a small single track disc drive.

R-C network, 1000 metres of coaxial cable, XOR gate, FPGA, digital signal processor, 555, etc.

Signal amplitude
Minimum frequency
Maximum frequency
Minimum pulse width or duty cycle
Maximum pulse width or duty cycle
Minimum delay time
Maximum delay time

Well, thats a very open ended question, with lots of specifics needed.

it all depends what sort of delay length you need, what accuracy , what for.

Example, the delay for 1/4 of a period could be for 6 hours, ( as in a day period )
or it could be nano seconds or less


Sorry , a bunch more details as to the background of the question would be of use.
