“Novel Semiconductor Phase Shifter for Millimeter-Wave Devices”

Abstract

Microwave and Millimeter-wave ferrite phase shifters are essential components in phased-array antennas for telecommunication and radar applications. But extremely high cost and frequency limitation has limited their use to military applications. In this study, potentially low-cost and miniaturized semiconductor phase shifters are analyzed and compared with their ferrites counterparts. The ferrite-semiconductor composite phase shifters are also envisaged
