摘要
This paper presents a tunable left-handed microstrip phase shifter based on inkjet printed ferroelectric material Barium-Strontium-Titanate (BST). Inkjet printing is a low-cost technology for selective film fabrication and has a high potential for planar phased-arrays. The BST thick-film is printed at the areas, where interdigital capacitors are later patterned. The demonstrative left-handed phase shifter covers the 360 degrees phase shift, with a figure of merit (FoM) of 38 degrees/dB at 12GHz. The size of the planar circuit is 4mm x 6mm.
