Abstract

A phase shifter module arrangement comprises a phase shifter with a plurality of emitter connections and a central point connection. A matching network is provided. The matching network comprises a signal connection and a phase shifter connection. A separating device is provided which is electrically conductive and is arranged between the phase shifter and the matching network. The separating device has a first side on which the phase shifter is arranged and a second side on which the matching network is arranged. A connection opening connects the first side to the second side. The phase shifter connection of the matching network is connected electrically via the connection opening of the separating device to the central point connection of the phase shifter.
