Abstract

2-6 GHz digital phase shifter module has been designed and fabricated. For the broadband operation and performance, MMIC phase shifter chip for phase shifter module was designed and fabricated by using the reflection-type circuits with Lange coupler. The fabricated phase shifter module shows 6.1$^{\circ}$RMS phase error, 13.5 dB maximum insertion loss, and 8 dB and 10 dB input and output return losses, respectively. Computer controlled measurement systems are realized in order to get the measured data of 32 phase states. The RMS insertion phase error and the average insertion loss deviation among 8${\times}$8 modules for the phased-array system are less than ${\pm}$0.5$^{\circ}$and ${\pm}$0.5 dB, respectively. The size of fabricated phase shifter module is 45 ${\times}$ 22.5 ${\times}$60㎣.

2-6 GHz 디지털 위상변위기 모듈을 설계, 제작하였다. 위상변위기 모듈에 사용된 MMIC 칩은 광대역을 구현하기 위해 Lange 커플러로 구성된 반사형 회로를 이용하여 설계 및 제작하였다. 위상변위기 모듈은 6.1°RMS 위상오차, 13.5 dB 최대 삽입손실과 각각, 8 dB와 10 dB의 입·출력 반사손실 특성을 갖는다. 32개의 위상 상태를 측정하기 위해서 컴퓨터를 사용하여 측정을 자동화 시켰다. 8×8 위상배열용 모듈들간의 RMS 삽입 위상오차는 최대 ±0.5°이내이고, 모듈들간의 평균 삽입손실 편차는 최대 ±0.5 dB를 넘지 않았다. 제작된 위상변위기 모듈의 크기는 45 × 22.5 × 60 ㎣. 이다.
