Abstract

A compact low pass/high pass filter phase shifter including a semiconductor switch having a control electrode and first and second load electrodes; a first inductance connected in series with one load electrode and second inductance connected in series with the other load electrode; a third inductance connected in parallel with one load electrode to ground and a fourth inductance connected in parallel with the other load electrode to ground; a capacitance connected in series between the control electrode and ground; and means for applying a control signal to the control electrode for switching the semiconductor switch between a first state in which it operates as a low pass filter and a second state in which it operates as a high pass filter to introduce a phase shift in a propagated signal.
