Abstract

In this letter, the design and performance of a Ka-band 5-b monolithic microwave integrated circuit phase shifter is presented. In the 180° phase bit, a developed switched-path-type topology is employed in order to extend the bandwidth and achieve good phase shifting characteristics. The fabricated phase shifter demonstrates an rms phase error of less than 4.7° and an rms amplitude error of less than 0.6 dB over the frequency band from 31 to 40 GHz. The input and output return loss is measured to be better than 9 dB, and the chip size is 2.55 mm × 1.3 mm.
