Abstract

A phase shifter includes functional actively controlled phase-shift elements formed with TSVs. The phase shifter may include plural phase shifter elements each including: a signal line including a signal line through-substrate-via (TSV) in a substrate; a ground return line including a ground return line TSV in the substrate; a capacitance control line including a capacitance control line TSV in the substrate; and an inductance control line including an inductance control line TSV in the substrate, wherein the phase shifter element has one of a first phase shift and a second phase shift, different from the first phase shift, based on a capacitance and an inductance of the signal line TSV.
