A delay line is what the name implies. A component that delays a signal,

certain time (here 150ns) later.
How precise is it? Is it comparable to a crystal oscillator regarding
stability and accuracy?
The reason for multiple outputs (often called
'taps' is that you can get
signals delayed by different amounts. A 150ns delay line may have 5 taps,
say, 30ns apart. If the input changes, the first tap changes after
30ns,the next after 60ns, etc.
Are these typically linear distributed? I mean: are the time differences
between the taps always the same?
Thanks for your explaination Tony!
