Digital pagers, wireless input devices, hand-held radios, personal computers, and cellular phones and other devices have all become more prevalent in civilian and military environments. In today's market place, controlling emissions from these and other products has become a necessity to satisfy many standards and regulations. In addition, many of these products should fit into a larger community of electronic systems without interference among devices. EMI and EME problems can be taken into account at the design stage to reduce the overall cost of correcting such problems late in the development process.","PeriodicalId":334204,"journal":{"name":"1998 Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122720355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are a number of types of phase shifters but, for phase shifts above 90 degrees, transmission or reflection type phase shifters offer prefered solutions. The difference in performance between these two types of phase shifters does not appear to be very significant, but transmission type phase shifters may have an advantage in offering phase shifts less affected by the load characteristics, while the reflection type phase shifter is controled by two pin diodes only (instead of three) which may lead to a somewhat less expensive design. In this paper we focus mainly on the behaviour of different reflection type phase shifters design and we present some experimental results for an phase shifters in the 1.5 and 18.5 GHz bands.","PeriodicalId":334204,"journal":{"name":"1998 Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124367838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
