Abstract

A novel approach to design digital phase shifters with the operational bandwidth extended to one octave is presented. An original design of the broadband phase shifter based on switching between transmission lines (TLs) with positive and negative dispersions is considered. An artificial TL with the negative dispersion was implemented as a quasilumped-element coplanar structure using a multilayer technology. The simulated and measured performance of the 180/spl deg/ phase shifter is presented.
