Abstract :
A producible, high yield, MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuit) 6-18 GHz 5-bit phase shifter with integrated standard CMOS compatible digital interface circuitry has been developed for use over the -55 degrees to +90 degrees C temperature range. The phase shifter was fabricated in production quantities using a standard microwave process. The phase shifter has an RMS phase error <10 degrees from 6.5-18 GHz, maximum insertion loss of 14 dB, and an RMS amplitude error <0.8 dB over the 6-18 GHz band.<>
