  • Abstract
    A novel approach to ferroelectric phase-shifter design using BaxSr1-xTiO3 (BSTO) films in a multilayer dielectric coplanar waveguide structure is described. By including a low-loss dielectric layer (SiO2) between the coplanar waveguide conductors and a layer of ferroelectric materials, significant reduction in insertion loss can be achieved in conjunction with a threefold increase in figure of merit (°/dB).
