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 22):
A switching arrangement comprising:\n a first inner signal conductor, a first outer conductor and a second outer conductor; a second inner signal conductor, a third outer conductor and a fourth outer conductor; a switching matrix; a signal input; and a signal output; wherein:\n (a) the switching arrangement is configured to receive a differential input signal from the signal input, and \n (b) the switching arrangement is configured to exhibit a changeover state, wherein the switching matrix is configured to connect the first inner signal conductor to both the third outer conductor and the fourth outer conductor, and to connect the second inner signal conductor to both the first outer conductor and the second outer conductor, thereby configuring the switching arrangement to output a differential output signal to the signal output, the differential output signal being the differential input signal with a phase shift.
