Abstract

A novel microstrip-line (MSL)-type liquid crystal (LC) phase shifter is designed to retain both the ease of fabrication with a coplanar waveguide (CPW)-type LC phase shifter and the excellent phase-shifting properties of the MSL-type one. The converting circuit, which is a key component of the device, is optimized so as to improve the operating frequency. Then, the phase-shifting properties and loss phenomena are investigated by using various LC materials. The operational frequency is extremely improved by employing a novel large birefringence LC material and the optimized design.
