초록

Lange 커플러를 이용한 반사구조 위상변위기는 광대역에서 위상변이를 얻는데 사용되는 회로이다. 이런 5-비트 반사구조에서 33.75°는 대개 11.25°와 22.5°를 동시에 "on"시켜서 얻는 방법이 사용되어져 왔다. 본 논문은 33.75° 위상특성을 개선하기 위하여 GaAs PM 다이오드와 리액티브 부하로 구성된 별도의 회로를 제안하였으며 MMIC로 구현하였다. 2-6 GHz에서 제안된 회로는 기 발표 논문에 비하여 33.75°를 기준으로 할 때 평균 4.7° 개선된 특성을 얻었다. 기존 회로와 비교할 때 삽입손실 및 반사손실은 거의 변화가 없었다.

Reflection type phase shifter with Lange coupler is widely used as a circuit topology to obtain phase shift in broadband operation. The phase shift of 33.75$^{\circ}$ at this type is achieved by simultaneously turning on both 11.25$^{\circ}$ and 22.5$^{\circ}$ . In order to improve the phase accuracy of 33.75$^{\circ}$, this paper proposes the additional circuit which is composed of a GaAs PIN diode and a reactive load. By utilizing MMIC technology. Over the 2-6 GHz band, the measured result of phase difference between the previous circuit and the proposed circuit shows average 4.7$^{\circ}$ on the basis of 33.75$^{\circ}$. Insertion loss and return loss are invariant in comparison with the previous circuit.
