This paper introduces a Ku-band passive time-varying phase shifter (TVPS) that utilizes a time-varying vector-sum method for continuous phase shifting. The implementation of the TVPS consists of a quadrature coupler, two 0/180 degrees biphase modulators, and an output combiner. Experimental results show that the TVPS can achieve a phase resolution of 10-bits, with an RMS phase error of 0.2 to 0.5 degrees and an RMS gain error of less than 0.2 dB over the 12 to 18 GHz frequency band.
This brief describes a Ku-band passive time-varying phase shifter (TVPS). The time variable is introduced into the conventional vector-sum phase shifter (VSPS) architecture, and the time-varying vector-sum method is proposed for the first time to realize continuous phase shifting. The proof-of-concept passive TVPS consisting of a quadrature coupler, two 0/180 degrees biphase modulators and an output combiner is implemented in 0.13-mu m CMOS technology with a core area of 2.2 x 0.8 mm(2), and a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is used to provide gain-control timing sequences with the modulation frequency of 100 kHz for its four control bits. The timing sequences are optimized to eliminate unwanted sidebands, and the measured sideband suppression ratio (SSR) is -17.2 dBc. For both forward and backward phase shifting modes, measured results show that the proposed TVPS can achieve the phase resolution of 10-bits, RMS phase error of 0.2 similar to 0.5 degrees, RMS gain error of less than 0.2 dB over the 12 similar to 18 GHz frequency band.
