Abstract

A monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) phase shifter is implemented in push-pull configuration with the quadrant selection and vector modulation functions combined. These functions are provided by four sets of adjustable gate-width dual-gate FETs and a pair of lumped element filter networks with a relative differential phase shift of 90.degree..
