Abstract

Abstract In this paper, a type of reconfigurable filtering phase shifters (RFPSs) composed of stepped-impendence stub-loaded multimode resonators (SLMMR) is proposed. High frequency selectivity and wideband characteristics are realized in the presented work. Four transmission poles (TPs) are generated in the passband to exhibit a flat and wide passband. Meanwhile, the proposed SLMMR produces two controllable transmission zeros (TZs), which improves the frequency selectivity effectively. Meanwhile, radiofrequency switches are utilized to facilitate the transition between different phase shifts. Finally, the proposed RFPSs are designed and fabricated to verify the method. The measured results indicate that the designed RFPSs, which can be turned from 45° to 90° and from 135° to 180°, are capable of realizing more than 40 % FBW with a center frequency of 3.5 GHz.
