An X-band 22.5°/45° digital phase shifter based on switched filter networks

The design approach and performance of a 22.5°/45°digital phase shifter based on a switched filter network for X-band phased arrays are described. Both the MMIC phase shifters are fabricated employing a 0.25μm gate GaAs pHEMT process and share in the same chip size of 0.82×1.06 mm². The measurement results of the proposed phase shifters over the whole operating frequency range show that the phase shift error is less than 22.5°±2.5°, 45°±3.5°, which shows an excellent agreement with the simulated performance, the insertion loss is within the range of 0.9-1.2 dB for the 22.5°phase shifter and 0.9-1.4 dB for the 45°phase shifter, and the input/output return loss is better than -12.5 and -11 dB respectively. They also achieve the similar P_1dB continuous wave power handing capability of 24.8 dBm at 10 GHz. The phase shifters show a good phase shift error, insertion loss and return loss in the X-band (40%), which can be employed into the wide bandwidth multi-bit digital phase shifter.     

A Low-Loss Ku-Band Monolithic Analog Phase Shifter

A GaAs monolithic Ku-band analog phase shifter integrating 90° branch line coupler with planar varactor diodes has been fabricated for the first time. A phase shift of 109° +- 3° with an insertion loss of 1.8+-0.3 dB was measured from 16 to 18 GHz. A 360° phase shifter with 4.2+-0.9 dB insertion loss was realized in the same frequency range by connecting three phase-shifter chips in series. To our knowledge, this is the lowest insertion loss obtained by a 360° Ku-band phase shifter using monolithic circuits. In addition, hyperabrupt varactors using nonuniform doping profiles increased the phase shift by more than 30° and produced a more linear dependence of phase shift on control voltage.

This paper describes the performance of a Ku‐band 5‐bit monolithic phase shifter with metal semiconductor field effect transistor (MESFET) switches and the implementation of a ceramic packaged phase shifter for phase array antennas.

For all 32 states of the developed 5‐bit phase shifter, the insertion losses were 8.2 ± 1.4 dB, the input return losses were higher than 7.7 dB, and the output return losses were higher than 6.8 dB for 13 to 15 GHz. The chip size of the 5‐bit monolithic phase shifter with a digital circuit for controlling all five bits was 2.35 mm × 1.65 mm. The packaged phase shifter demonstrated a phase error of less than 11.3° RMS, measured insertion losses of 12.2 ± 2.2 dB, and an insertion loss variation of 1.0 dB RMS for 13 to 15 GHz. For all 32 states, the input return losses were higher than 5.0 dB and the output return losses were higher than 6.2 dB for 13 to 15 GHz. The size of the packaged phase shifter was 7.20 mm × 6.20 mm.

Design of novel wideband reflective phase shifters with wide range of phase applications

This paper presents wideband compact differential reflective phase shifter based on the double layer slot-coupled coupler configuration. This novel phase shifter arrangement consists of a 3-dB hybrid coupler with the coupled and transmission ports terminated with rectangular and elliptically shaped microstrip loads. By altering the ports termination of the coupler, phase shifters propose differential phase ranging from −90° to +90° over 1.3–5.9G Hz frequency band. To achieve different range of phase performance, the proper reactance is calculated at the outputs of coupler. These reactances are transformed to the elliptical or rectangular-shaped microstrip load with various dimensions for every phase shifter. The calculation and simulations results show that the developed circuits could provide ±30°, ±60°, ±45° and ±90° differential phase shifts. For verification of this wideband phase shifter design method, two phase shifter example with rectangular and elliptical load termination is fabricated and measured. The measured return loss of the phase shifter with elliptically load is better than 10 dB over 1.3–5.9G Hz frequency band as well as insertion loss is less than 1 dB. The phase shift deviation is less than 2.1°. The results demonstrate that the proposed phase shifters are well suited for use in GPS/LTE/WiMax/WLAN frequency bands.
