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 20):
An electronic arrangement comprising:\n a first transmission line configured to receive an input signal; a second transmission line; a first middle section comprising a first signal trace and first middle section ground planes; a second middle section comprising a second signal trace and second middle section ground planes; a switching matrix connecting the first middle section to the second middle section; wherein:\n (a) the first middle section ground planes are narrower than ground planes of the first transmission line; \n (b) the second middle section ground planes are narrower than ground planes of the second transmission line; \n (c) the first signal trace and the first middle section ground planes have substantially the same widths, and the first middle section ground planes have substantially the same spacing from the first signal trace; \n (d) the second signal trace and the second middle section ground planes have substantially the same widths, and the second middle section ground planes have substantially the same spacing from the second signal trace; and \n (e) the electronic arrangement is configured to exhibit:\n (i) a through state, wherein the switching matrix is configured to connect the first signal trace to the second signal trace, the ground planes of the first transmission lines to the first middle section ground planes, the ground planes of the second transmission line to the second section ground planes, thereby configuring the electronic arrangement to pass the input signal through; and \n (ii) a changeover state, wherein the switching matrix is configured to connect the first signal trace to the second middle section ground planes, and to connect the second signal trace to the first middle section ground planes, thereby configuring the electronic arrangement to create a phase shift to the input signal.
