Abstract

This paper proposed a simple 180$^{\circ}$ MMIC phase shifter for wideband application. The phase shifter simply consists of a Lange coupler and two GaAs PIN diodes. The measured performance of the phase shifter in the 2 to 6 GHz band shows a maximum phase error of less than 13$^{\circ}$, maximum 3.2 dB insertion loss, and minimum 6.3 dB return loss.

광대역에서 동작되는 간단한 180$^{\circ}$ MMIC 위상변위기를 제안하였다. 제안된 회로는 1개의 Lange 커플러와 2개의 PIN 다이오드만으로 구성되어 있다. 2-6 GHz 대역에서 측정된 위상변위기는 최대 위상오차가 13$^{\circ}$이며 3.2 dB의 최대 삽입손실과 6.3 dB의 최소 반사손실을 보였다.
