Abstract

A compact 5-bit MMIC phase shifter has been developed utilizing EEl' switches and coplanar waveguide delay lines. The device has constant time delay over a bandwidth of more than 18% with an accuracy of±1 .2 Ps at X-band (±5°). An 1 1 .5 GHz version has less than 1 2 dB of insertion loss for any of its 32 states and an overall chip dimension of 2.25 x 2 .50 mm. A 20 GHz version has less than 1 1 dB of insertion loss and an overall chip dimension of 2.0 x 3.0 mm. Unit-to-unit variation in absolute time delay is less than 2 ps across two wafer lots andfour wafers.
