In this paper, a new active phase shifter is proposed using a vector sum method, and a unique digital phase control method of the circuit is suggested. The proposed scheme was designed and implemented using a Wilkinson power combiner/divider, a branch line 3 dB quadrature hybrid coupler and variable gain amplifiers (VGAs) using gate FETs(DGFETs). Furthermore, it was also shown that the proposed scheme is more efficient and works properly with the digital phase control method.

A design of digital loaded-line phase shifter circuits with PIN Diode is presented. A computer program showes that any phase difference which is satisfied with the condition of minimun VSWR can be obtained with variable stub length and spacing between stubs. A 30 phase bit is designed and measured at 3Gh. Experimental and theoretical performance are compared and found to be in good agreement.

In this paper, we design the 4-bit phase shifter which have $22.5^{\circ},45^{\circ},90^{\circ}$ and $180^{\circ}$ phase shift by applying the loaded line and switched network phase shifter. Its phase shift is variable with changing of the stub and passive device parameters. The experiments show the 6.5 dB average insertion loss and $10^{\circ}$ average phase error at center frequency, 6GHz. The results of experiment agree well with the theories except $180^{\circ}$ phase shifter.

In this paper, a uniform speed controller for an ultrasonic rotary motor is developed using the phase-difference method. The phase difference method uses traveling waves to drive the ultrasonic motor. The traveling waves are obtained by adding two standing waves that have a different phase to each other. A compact phase-difference driver system is designed and integrated by combining VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator) and phase shifter. Theoretically the relationship between the phase difference in time and the rotational speed of the ultrasonic motor is sine function, which is verified by experiments. Then a series of experiments under various loading conditions are conducted to characterize the motor's performance that is the relationship between the speed and torque. Proportional-integral control is adopted for the uniform speed control. The proportional control unit calculates the compensating phase-difference using the rotating speed which is measured by an encoder and fed back. Integral control is used to eliminate steady-state errors. Differential control for reducing overshoot is not used since the response of ultrasonic motor is prompt due to its low inertia and friction-driving characteristics. The developed controller demonstrates reasonable performance overcoming disturbing torque and the changes in material properties due to continuous usage.

We propose a 10-GHz 2 × 2 phased-array radio frequency (RF) receiver with an 8-bit linear phase and 15-dB gain control range using 65-nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology. An 8 × 8 phased-array receiver module is implemented using 16 2 × 2 RF phased-array integrated circuits. The receiver chip has four single-to-differential low-noise amplifier and gain-controlled phase-shifter (GCPS) channels, four channel combiners, and a 50-Ω driver. Using a novel complementary bias technique in a phase-shifting core circuit and an equivalent resistance-controlled resistor-inductor-capacitor load, the GCPS based on vector-sum structure increases the phase resolution with weighting-factor controllability, enabling the vector-sum phase-shifting circuit to require a low current and small area due to its small 1.2-V supply. The 2 × 2 phased-array RF receiver chip has a power gain of 21 dB per channel and a 5.7-dB maximum single-channel noise-figure gain. The chip shows 8-bit phase states with a 2.39° root mean-square (RMS) phase error and a 0.4-dB RMS gain error with a 15-dB gain control range for a 2.5° RMS phase error over the 10 to10.5-GHz band.

The six-port direct conversion receiver front-end that is comprised of a carrier recovery and a phase shifter, which gets the same structure with six-port phase correlator using the multi-layer coupled line, was designed and fabricated in this paper. The six-port element that is comprised of the power divider and the hybrid coupler is designed by multi-layer coupled line structure. The multi-coupled structure is utilized as the basic structure in receiver phase correlator, carrier recovery circuit and phase shifter. The receiver front-end with the same multi-layer coupled line structure for the receiver elements shows the simple structure and no difficulty in integration. The fabricated multi-layer coupled six-port receiver front-end re-generates the carrier signal with a constant phase and demodulates the PSK transmission signal.

In this paper, the RADANT phase scanning scheme and the transmission-type loaded line phase shifter scheme, which are applicable to the phased array systems, are studied. Using these two schemes, a theoretical method to design an electronic beam steering RADANT lens is introduced. The validity of the presented theoretical method is verified through the simplified circuit simulation results.

This paper presents the description of a 4-bit digital p-i-n diode phase shifter that was designed for quasimillimeter wave band satellite receiver to use in phased-array systems. 180$^{\circ}$ and 90$^{\circ}$ cells are designed in reflection type that consists of a 3-dB rat-race hybrid coupler, 45$^{\circ}$ and 22.5$^{\circ}$ cells are designed in loaded-line type to reduce the size of circuit and the number of diode to be used. The 4-bit phase shifter uses eight p-i-n diodes mounted in the microstrip circuit. The average insertion loss for the 16 phase states is 6.92dB over the 19.8~20.3 GHz band and maximum phase error is 6.2$^{\circ}$ at 20 GHz.

This paper proposes a design of W-band mm-wave wideband monopulse comparator using waveguide structure for applications. The main idea of proposed design is to combine a self-compensating phase shifter on $90^{\circ}$ hybrid for wideband $180^{\circ}$ hybrid. Using multiple conventional phase shifters, because of their narrow-band characteristics, tends to restrict working bandwidth of system including antennas. Proposed comparator could relieve the problem since it applies the self-compensating phase shifter. The comparator has waveguide structure so it shows excellent characteristic in loss. It also show wideband characteristic in amplitude and phase response between ports.
