Abstract
A miniaturized MMIC analog phase shifter using two quarter-wave-length transmission lines is described. The number of transmission lines it uses is half that of a conventional analog phase shifter, which uses a 3-dB 90/spl deg/ branch-line hybrid. The chip size of the experimental GaAs MESFET MMIC analog phase shifter is less than 0.71 mm/sup 2/, and a phase shift of more than 100/spl deg/ and an insertion loss of 2.2/spl plusmn/0.8 dB are obtained from 19 GHz to 24 GHz.
