摘要
This paper presents the design and fabrication of fast DMTL RF MEMS phase shifters. Distributed MEMS Transmission Lines are being used with miniature RF MEMS switched capacitors (40x40 mu m 2), actuating at 25 V with a switching time around 1 mu s. Both 90 and 180 degree phase shifters presented here operate at 20 GHz, are respectively less than 4.5 mm and 8.5 mm long. They are designed with 6 and 12 unit cells to achieve the desired phase shift. Measured return loss is respectively better than -13 dB and -11 dB for the 90 and the 180 degree phase shifters, and insertion loss is respectively less than 0.8 dB and 1.8 dB at 20 GHz.
