Abstract
A planar micro-electromechanical system (MEMS)-based phase shifter is described which comprises a dielectric substrate, a grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) transmission line for carrying input and output signals, a high-resistivity silicon (HRS) slab coated with metallic gratings over the GCPW line, and a MEMS actuator for adjusting a distance between the HRS slab and the GCPW line to provide a phase shift.
