Title
3-D Empty Substrate Integrated Waveguide Phase Shifter With Equal Length
Abstract
In this letter, a novel 3-D empty substrate integrated waveguide (ESIW) phase shifter with equal length has been proposed. The vertical transitions have been introduced into 3-D ESIW phase shifter in the propagation path. Based on it, the different total lengths of phase shifters in the propagation path and the equal total lengths of phase shifters in the external structure are compatible. The phase shifter consists of multi-layer PCB: top layer, interlayer, middle layer, ESIW PCB, and bottom layer. The theory and design process of ESIW phase shifter have been explained and discussed in detail. To demonstrate its feasibility, the 3-D ESIW phase shifters with equal external length are designed, manufactured and measured. Final results show that the phase shifts of 45.2 degrees +/- 3.7 degrees and 89.7 degrees +/- 4.7 degrees can be achieved over the entire Ka-band. Besides, the return losses and the insertion losses are better than 12.5 dB, and 1.9 dB, respectively. on
