Small Size Ka-band Distributed Mems Phase Shifters Using Inductors
MEMS phase shifter has been developed using inductors. The design consists of a CPW line capacitively and inductively loaded by the periodic set of inductors and electrostatic force actuated MEMS switches as capacitors. By applying a single bias voltage on the line, the characteristic impedance can be changed, which in turn changes the phase velocity of the line and creates a true time delay ph...
متن کاملAnalysis and Design of W-band Phase Shifters
This thesis describes 80−94GHz and 70−77GHz interpolating phase shifters and the corresponding transmitter and receiver ICs, fabricated in 65-nm CMOS and SiGe BiCMOS technologies, respectively. Lumped inductors and transformers are employed to realize small-form factor 90◦ hybrids as needed in high density phased arrays. The CMOS transmitter exhibits absolute phase and amplitude errors of 4◦ an...
متن کاملW-Band True-Time Delay Phase Shifters Using Paraffin Microactuators
We report a distributed loaded line phase shifter based on a new class of electro-thermally actuated RF MEMS devices using paraffin phase-change material (PCM). Paraffin is a low loss (tan δ = 6.6×10−4) mechanical phase-change material that exhibits a 15% volumetric change through its solid-liquid transition. Due to its unique electrical and mechanical properties, paraffin PCM variable capacito...

This paper presents the design and realization of a low power, high speed circuit used to actuate RF MEMS (Radio Frequency MicroElectroMechanical Systems) based phase shifters at 60GHz.The phase shifter are used to realize beam forming reconfigurable antenna for high data rate WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network) applications. RF MEMS commonly have high actuation voltages usually obtained with...
متن کاملDistributed MEMS True-Time Delay Phase Shifters and Wide-Band Switches - Microwave Theory and Techniques, IEEE Transactions on
Wide-band switches and true-time delay (TTD) phase shifters have been developed using distributed microelectromechanical system (MEMS) transmission lines for applications in phased-array and communication systems. The design consists of a coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line (W = G = 100 m) fabricated on a 500m quartz substrate with fixed–fixed beam MEMS bridge capacitors placed periodica...
