The phase shifter circuit is made by utilizing of strip lines arranged in candlestick form on one face of a substrate and a slot line arranged on the other face. The length of the branches of the candlestick differ by b/4, b being the wavelength, and the ends of the branches are short-circuited or not short-circuited by utilizing of diodes which can be forward biased or reverse biased.
