Continuous Varactor-Diode Phase Shifter with Optimized Frequency Response |
| |
Abstract: | A method is introduced for designing continuous varactor-diode phase shifters with optimum frequency response. The circuit used gives very small frequency variations of the phase shift if the maximum phase shift of the device is less than about 200/spl deg/. Measurement results on a 180/spl deg/ L-band phase shifter are presented. This unit gives less than 5/spl deg/ variation of any given phase shift less than 180/spl deg/, when the frequency is changed from 1.5 to 1.7 GHz. |
