Abstract:
Designing phase shifters having small insertion loss and footprint for mm-wave applications is challenging. The disclosed methods and devices provide solutions to overcome such challenge. Devices based on limited ground coplanar waveguide structure are also disclosed wherein the 180° phase shift is created using through and changeover mm-wave switches.

Claim (Index 3):
An electronic arrangement comprising:\n a first electronic block; a signal input and a signal output; and a switching arrangement comprising:\n a first inner signal conductor, a first outer signal conductor and a second outer signal conductor; \n a second inner signal conductor, a third outer signal conductor and a fourth outer signal conductor; \n a switching matrix; \n wherein:\n (a) the first electronic block is configured to receive a single-ended input signal from the signal input and generate a first differential signal; \n (b) the switching arrangement is configured to receive the first differential signal and to exhibit:\n (i) a through state, wherein the switching matrix is configured to connect the first inner signal conductor to the second inner signal conductor, the first outer conductor to the third outer conductor and the second outer conductor to the fourth outer conductor, thereby configuring the switching arrangement to pass the first differential signal through; and \n (ii) a changeover state, wherein the switching matrix is configured to connect the first inner signal conductor to both the third outer signal conductor and the fourth outer conductor, and to connect the second inner signal conductor to both the first outer signal conductor and the second outer signal conductor, thereby configuring the switching arrangement to generate a second differential signal being the first differential signal with a phase shift.
