Abstract : |
Microwave and millimeter-wave ferrite phase shifters are essential components in phased-array antennas for telecommunication and radar applications. However, the extremely high cost and frequency limitations have limited their use to military applications. In this study, potentially low-cost, miniaturized semiconductor phase shifters are analyzed and compared with their ferrite counterparts. Ferrite-semiconductor composite phase shifters are also envisaged. (C) 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc., |
