Abstract :
The aim of this work is to present a modeling procedure for the traveling-wave analog phase shifter. The proposed approach is based on the image representation of two-port networks. Design considerations to optimize the electric performance of the component reducing also the size of the structure are discussed. A commercial software package is used for the final electric simulation of the actual phase shifters to check the validity of the analytic model presented.
