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