Abstract
An S-band phase shifter using lightweight composite construction for low-cost manufacture with batch processing is described. Couplers and phase shift networks are grouped together on an unusual printed air stripline medium. Lumped elements and critical ground paths are contained in a mass producible, individually testable hybrid circuit. The low-loss, lightweight phase shifter is readily integrable with distribution manifolding and printed radiator arrays.<>
