As the need for low-loss phase shifters increases, so does the interest in radio frequency
(RF) MEMS as a solution to provide them. In this paper, progress in building low loss Ka …

Though there are a few examples of scanning phased array antennas that have flown
successfully in space, the quest for ldquolow costrdquo high-efficiency large-aperture …

This letter presents a one-bit low-loss K/K/sub a/-band phase shifter circuit that employs
microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) capacitors. The measured results demonstrate a …

While there are a myriad of applications for microwave phase shifters in instrumentation and
metrology, power combining, amplifier linearization, and so on, the most prevalent use is in …

In this paper, a fully wafer-level packaged RF MEMS switch has been demonstrated, which
has low operation voltage, using a piezoelectric actuator. The piezoelectric actuator was …

This paper summarizes the development of a prototype 23.675-GHz linear 16-element
scanning phased array antenna based on thin ferroelectric film coupled microstripline phase …

A wideband distributed coplanar-waveguide (CPW) phase shifter has been developed for X-
