tap-changing
Well, in the context of a phase-shifter, 'prise' is a tap, and when you 'passer' from one to another, you 'change' the tap; my only lingering doubt is more to do with the way they are actually using it here, as it's hard to be sure without seeing the entire context!

: Sorry, Dan, but that's nothing whatever to do with the context here, which is pretty muich adequate if one knows the field.
