Abstract: A phase shifter comprises: a phase shift unit
including a reactance unit having a first variable
capacitance device, and a susceptance unit having a
second variable capacitance device, serially connected
to the reactance unit; and a control unit for outputting
a control signal continuously changing the capacitance
of the first variable capacitance device and the second
variable capacitance device to the phase shift unit. 
The amount of phase shift can be continuously changed by
changing these variable capacitance devices
continuously. Moreover, these devices can be formed on
a semiconductor, thereby realizing low-voltage driving
and high-speed response. Furthermore, the variance of
impedance can be prevented by adjusting these two
variable capacitance devices. Thus, a phase shifter with
low-voltage driving, continuous variation of
phase shift, high-speed variation of phase shift, and impedance-matching,is provided.
