Abstract

In this paper, a micromachined low-loss and ultra wideband reflection-type phase shifter (RTPS) is proposed. The phase shifter shows a constant phase shift from 5 to 17 GHz and consists of two cascaded reflection-type phase shifter. Low-loss reflection termination consists of digital capacitive switches, and air-gap overlay CPW couplers are used in order to employ the low-loss 3 dB coupling. The fabricated phase shifter showed the 5 discrete states, 0°, 22.5°, 45°, 67.5°, 90° respectively, the average insertion loss of 3.48 dB, and maximum rms phase error of ± 1.80° for the relative phase sift from 0° to 90° over 5-17GHz.
