Abstract
A phase shifter () with controllable attenuation and a method for controlling the phase shifter is disclosed, the phase shifter () comprising a plurality of transmission line segments () coupled in series, wherein each said transmission line segment () comprises an attenuation circuit (), selectively couplable between a signal line () of the transmission line segment () and ground to selectively attenuate a signal propagating through the transmission line segment (). Each transmission line segment () is switchable between a first configuration providing a first phase shift for a signal propagating through the transmission line segment () and a second configuration providing a second phase shift, greater than said first phase shift, for a signal propagating through the transmission line segment ().
