Abstract
A phase shifting device with a linear transmission line comprises a first electrode and a second electrode that are spaced at a distance from each other. A tunable dielectric material is arranged between the first electrode and the second electrode. The transmission line comprises several overlapping section. An overlapping area of the first electrode overlaps an overlapping area of the second electrode in order to provide a parallel plate capacitor area that affects the phase of an electromagnetic signal that propagates along the transmission line. The first electrode and the second electrode are electrically connected to a bias voltage source with bias electrodes which consist of a material with a lower electrical conductivity that that of the first and second electrode.
