Abstract:

In this paper, new topology of phase shifter is proposed that uses advantage of metamaterial and MEMS technology. The phase shifter is switched between two states of RH- and LH-TL having frequency passband unlike other proposed metamaterials which create the maximum phase shift from one unitcell. Analysis and design approach of the phase shifter is presented and the structure is simulated using 3D simulator. The phase shifter creates 180 degree phase shift with return loss and insertion loss that are better than 15 dB and 0.25 dB in both states at frequency ranges of 1.4-4.4 GHz. Therefore, low loss, high bandwidth and high phase shift are the advantages of the new proposed phase shifter.

A New Circular Polarization Metamaterial Ferrite Phase Shifter

In this paper, a new X band Metamaterial (MTM) based ferrite phase shifter is presented. The phase shifter is excited by circular polarized wave base on combination of TE10 and TE01 modes in a square waveguide. In order to synthesize negative refractive index metamaterial (NIM), negative permeability of ferrite slabs in extraordinary mode is mixed with the negative permitivity of printed period...

A novel miniaturized loaded line phase shifter

Introduction Phase shifter (PS) in a phased array antenna shifts phase of incoming RF signal depending on control input, enabling antenna main beam to be steered at a faster rate without rotating antenna mechanically. Demand for high performance WLAN system at low cost has necessitated development of a miniaturized PS with reduced loss at low cost. Design and development of various types of PSs...

Fast Rf Ferrite Phase Shifter for High-power Applications

Fast rf phase shifters may be needed, in powering a superconducting linac, between rf generators and accelerating cavities when one klystron feeds more than one cavity. The configuration with one klystron for many cavities needs orthogonal controls of magnitude and phase of rf power in order to preserve system performance while reducing construction cost. For this reason, a waveguide ferrite ph...

A New Near Optimal High Gain Controller For The Non-Minimum Phase Affine Nonlinear Systems

In this paper, a new analytical method to find a near-optimal high gain controller for the non-minimum phase affine nonlinear systems is introduced. This controller is derived based on the closed form solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation associated with the cheap control problem. This methodology employs an algebraic equation with parametric coefficients for the systems with s...
