Abstract

Information is provided on the theory and design, fabrication, and experimental results for a phase shifter designed to operate in the millimeter wavelength region. The device was fabricated in a manner that makes it compatible with present GaAs monolithic microwave circuit technology. Continuously variable phase shift is obtained by varying the bias voltage from −5.0 to +0.65 V on a Schottky microstrip line. Experimental phase shift and loss data are provided for two different width (w) Schottky lines, w=1.5 and 7.3 μm, for frequencies 2–18 GHz.
