MEMS Slow-Wave CPW Phase Shifter for Mm-Wave Applications
Journal of infrared, millimeter, and terahertz waves(2020)
摘要
MEMS-based phase shifters show the best performance in terms of figure of merit, but their footprints are usually large and it is difficult to achieve several bits. This paper demonstrates a miniaturized phase shifter based on slow-wave CPW and MEMS that occupy 0.47 mm2. A total phase shift of 152° was obtained with a maximum insertion loss of 3 dB, resulting in a figure of merit of 50°/dB at 60 GHz. The 3-bit device showed an insertion loss variation of 1.3 dB and return loss better than 13 dB. The pull-in and pull-out voltages were measured to be 17 V and 10 V, respectively. The presented device is well suited for mm-wave phased array applications. Thanks to the proposed concept, more bits could be easily achieved and much higher frequencies could be addressed.
