A Compact 5-Bit Phase-Shifter MMIC for K-Band Satellite Communication Systems

Charles F. Campbell and Steven A. Brown

Page 2652.

Abstract:

The design and performance of a compact K -band 5-bit phase-shifter monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) is presented. Extensive electromagnetic simulation and compact circuit design techniques were employed to yield an MMIC with a 1.693 mm × 0.750 mm (1.27 mm2 ) die size. Measured performance of the phase shifter at 19 GHz demonstrates 5 dB±0.6 dB insertion loss and 3° rms phase error.
