Abstract
A compact wideband 90° differential phase shifter is developed by modifying ports termination in the Abbosh phase-shifter configuration. This novel phase-shifter arrangement consists of a 3-dB directional coupler with the coupled and transmission ports terminated with reactive loads. The proper reactance is found at the input of the coupled line section in which the remaining ports are open circuited. Both coupled sections utilize a multilayer broadside coupling microstrip-slot-microstrip tight coupler. A theoretical model is presented to explain the performance of the proposed phase shifter and design procedure. Further, the phase shifter was designed and manufactured. Results of calculation and measurement show that the developed circuit provides a 90° differential phase shift with deviation less than ±4° across the 3-7-GHz frequency band.
