Phase Shifter Design

Reflection Type Phase Shifter


• Components:
• Coupler
• Variable Load Variable Impedance
Coupler
• Microstrip line Coupler

Port 1 is input port


Port 2 and 3 are 90° out of phase
Port 4 is isolated

• Latest studies: Substrate Integrated


Waveguide (SIW) based couplers
• Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW):

• SIW based coupler (Single Layer):


3 Transmit

Recent study: TAP 2019


• Antenna integrated with phase
shifter using multilayer SIW 1
Input Signal
• Drawbacks:
• Low bandwidth
• Single port (As the signal is directly
transmitted after phase shift)

Phase shift
(Variable Impedance)
Structure
• We do not need power divider
• We need two ports on a double layer SIW

BW = 35%
Full Device Simulation

BW = 33%
BW = 36.5%

Isolation -10.6dB
36.9%
Final Device BW = 36.9% Isolation = -11.4dB Coupling Fluctuation = 0.85dB
Improving Isolation
Single slot  Good isolation
Very narrow slot2. Isolation degraded. Why?
Isolation Vs slot length

Best isolation = worst fluctuation


Rotation angle trades between fluctuation and isolation

Slot rotated 45°


Cross Slot

Effect of cross rotation
45 degree gives best isolation
Rectangular + 1 cross slot
BW = 33.6% Isolation = -13.3dB
BW = 34% Isolation = -14.3dB
BW = 35% Isolation = -14.6dB
BW = 35% Isolation = -15dB
BW = 36.5% Isolation = -15dB

Coupled & Through

36% Bandwidth

S11 Isolation = max(-15dB)
