DESIGN OF A KU BAND SIX BIT PHASE SHIFTER USING PERIODICALLY LOADED-LINE AND SWITCHED-LINE WITH LOADED-LINE

A Ku band six-bit phase shifter is presented in this work. The developed phase shifter consists of four bits realized as periodically loaded-line and two bits based on novel switched-line with loaded-line. A 71Ω line impedance is chosen for the main trans
