Abstract
An integrated waveguide component has at least one planar microwave conductor with at least one interruption point, a mechanically shiftable microwave conductor segment provided for each of the interruption points, a substrate plate above which the microwave conductor is disposed, a further substrate plate above which the microwave conductor segment is disposed, so that the microwave conductor segment is shiftable parallel to the substrate plate by displacement of the further substrate plate to establish or adjust an effective length, spanning the interruption point of the microwave conductor segment in accordance with the desired phased shift between an input signal are the output signal, the microwave conductor segment being disposed on a side remote from the microwave conductor of the further substrate plate, so that the further substrate plate performs not only a carrier function for the microwave conductor segment but simultaneously a function of a dielectric for an inductive and/or capacitive coupling of the microwave conductor to the microwave conductor segment.
