@article{10902/13091, year = {2017}, month = {11}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/13091}, abstract = {A novel four-state full Q-band waveguide phase shifter based on smooth-ridged sections is presented. The waveguide structure combines differential 90° and 180° phase shifters, whose combination provides the four-phase states (0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°) by appropriately controlling a set of millimeter-wave switches. Each differential phase shifter is performed using an E-plane continuous profile ridge to reach the 90° or 180° phase shift, respectively. The phase shifter module provides outstanding performance covering the full Q-band (33-50 GHz) with average phase results of 93.5°, 182.8°, and 270.6°.}, organization = {This work was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness through the Consolider-Ingenio 2010 Program under Grant CSD2010-00064 and Grant ESP2015-70646-C2-2-R.}, publisher = {Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.}, publisher = {IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters, 2017, 27(11), 995-997}, title = {Four-state full Q-band phase shifter using smooth-ridged waveguides}, author = {Villa Benito, Enrique and Aja Abelán, Beatriz and Cagigas Ibañez, Jaime and Artal Latorre, Eduardo and Fuente Rodríguez, Luisa María de la}, }
