Reliability Study Of A Tunable Ka-Band Siw-Phase Shifter Based On Liquid Crystal In Ltcc-Technology
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MICROWAVE AND WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES(2015)
摘要
A tunable substrate-integrated waveguide phase shifter using low-temperature co-fired ceramic ( LTCC)-technology is presented in this paper. By changing the effective permittivity in the liquid crystal ( LC)-filled waveguide, the differential phase can be tuned continuously. This is achieved by means of an analog signal applied to the electrodes, surrounding the LC. The design allows for precise tuning of the differential phase, which is proven with a Monte Carlo measurement resulting in phase errors of less than 3 degrees at 28 GHz. Besides that, the ambient temperature dependency of the module is shown. The phase shifter has a high integration level and can be included into a complete and lightweight single-phased array antenna module. The phase shifter is realized with a high level of integration which is available through the multilayer process of the LTCC. It has a length of 50 and provides a differential phase shift of more than 3608 at 28 GHz. The figure of merit for tunable phase shifters is >40 degrees/dB.
