| Popis: | International audience; This letter presents the realization of a miniaturized liquid crystal slow wave phase shifter at V -band. It is based on a microstrip topology, where the ground plane is realized by a porous alumina membrane filled with metallic nanowires, all of them being connected with each other by a metallic ground plane at the membrane's back. While the magnetic field can pass the nanowires almost unperturbed, the electric field is confined in between the signal electrode and the tips of the nanowires. After deembedding, the meander line phase shifter shows a matching always better than -10 dB, while exhibiting an insertion loss between 1.5 and 2.5 dB from 40 to 67 GHz. This results in a figure-of-merit for passive phase shifters of 33 dB to 45°/dB, accompanied with a phase shift of 55°-100°. |
