Abstract
A reflection phase shifter includes a 3 dB directional coupler having opposite first and second ends, a reflection circuit connected between the first and second ends of the 3 dB directional coupler, a first resonant circuit connected between a node connecting the first end of the 3 dB directional coupler and the reflection circuit and ground, and a second resonant circuit connected between a node connecting the second end of the 3 dB directional coupler and the reflection circuit and ground. Each resonant circuit comprises an FET and an inductor connected between source and drain electrodes of the FET. In this reflection phase shifter, when the resonant circuits are open, the first and second ends of the 3 dB directional coupler are connected to the reflection circuit. On other hand, when the resonant circuits are short-circuited, the first and second ends of the 3 dB directional coupler are grounded. As a result, three different phases, i.e., two different phase shift quantities, are attained in one reflection phase shifter.
