Abstract :
A novel MM-wave monolithic phase shifter is described which achieves wide bandwidth and minimum insertion loss variation. The circuit employs a dual-varactor reflection termination which behaves like a tunable L-C resonator. The circuit operates at 50 GHz center frequency with 100 degrees of control range and /spl plusmn/0.4 dB maximum amplitude variation.
