Abstract:
A phase shifter having a four port hybrid coupler is provided. The four port hybrid coupler has first and second input ports and first and second output ports. The four port hybrid coupler is configured to shift the phase of an RF signal as between the first and second input ports. First and second active semiconductor devices are connected to first and second output ports. The first and second active semiconductor devices are configured to change the phase shift of the RF signal as between the first and second input ports based upon a varying voltage

Claim (Index 11):
A method of shifting the phase of an RF signal, comprising,\n providing a phase shifter comprising a first and second RF terminals, a reference potential terminal, a lumped element LC network connected to the first and second RF terminals and the reference potential terminal, and first and second active semiconductor devices connected to the lumped element LC network and to the reference potential terminal, each of the first and second active semiconductor devices comprising a control terminal and first and second output terminals, wherein the lumped element LC network presents a reactance across the first and second RF terminals that shifts the phase of an RF signal as between the first and second RF terminals, and wherein the method further comprises tuning the phase shift of the RF signal across the first and second RF terminals by controlling a reactance of the first and second active semiconductor devices.
