Abstract

Ferroelectric loaded line phase shifters operating at millimeter waves for phased array antenna applications are presented. Phase shifters were manufactured on using Ba 0.3Sr 0.7TiO 3 thin films. The magnetron sputtering process was used to fabricate these Ba 0.3Sr 0.7TiO 3 ferroelectric films with a thickness ∼1 μm. The phase shifter operating at V-band (60 GHz) demonstrated continuous phase shift up to 220 deg and figure of merit (FOM) 22 deg/dB. The phase shifter operating at Ka-band (30 GHz) showed phase shift up to 360 deg and FOM 40 deg/dB.
