摘要：

A tunable left handed (LH) transmission line used as continuously tunable phase shifter is presented. Using varactors based on Barium-Strontium-Titanate (BST) thick films, a Figure of Merit FoM = 29 degrees/dB has been measured at 2.8GHz. The bandwidth of the realized circuit using 3 unit cells reached 10%. The agreement or the presented result from simulation and measurement is good, the differences can be explained by tolerances of the used components. Additionally the simulations of a 180 degrees phase shifter based on the same components for the unit cell is presented. Simulated results of this phase shifter shows a bandwidth of 27% and a FoM(max) = 31.5 degrees/dB.
