Miniaturisation of a 2-Bits Reflection Phase Shifter for Phased Array Antenna based on Experimental Realisation
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 5
Abstract
In this paper, a controllable reflection type Phase Shifter (PS) is designed, simulated and implemented. The structure of the 2-bits PS consists of branch line coupler, delay lines and six GaAs FET switches controlled in pair. The phase shifting is achieved by turning ON one pair of switches. The circuit design is fabricated using FR4 substrate with dielectric constant equal to 4.7. The size of the realised circuit is 7cm×2.8cm. To reduce this size, two methods are used. First, shortened quarter-wave length transmission line in T model is employed to develop a compact branch-line coupler. Second, a loaded line with capacitor is used to reduce the dimension of delays lines. The two methods are combined to realise a PS with compact size equal to 4.5cm×1.96cm.
