Abstract :
MEMS varactors and switchers used as a key element for the phase shifters on dielectric rod waveguides are presented. The 32 degree phase shift due to capacity change in MEMS is demonstrated in W band. New approach of the reconfigurable phase shifter with MEMS switchers is discussed in this work.
