Abstract
This paper shows how periodic structure theory can be used to precisely model and design conventional distributed MEMS variable true-time delay lines, so as to deduce an improved topology for multi-bit operation. Results for the new configuration are then presented along with its conventional counterpart performances, highlighting the advantage of the new configuration in terms of mismatch and delay distortion.
