Abstract :
A new device structure based on microstrip line (MSL) is proposed to realize the MMW liquid crystal phase shifter. Fundamental characteristics for various device structures are evaluated by using FDTD Method. Here, we investigate in detail about the influence of "through hole" to the MMW propagation, which is the key component of the new device.
