Abstract:
Circuits, devices and methods are disclosed, including a phase shifter comprising a first node and a second node, and a first transmission line element having an inductance and a variable capacitance on each side of the inductance, the variable capacitance configured to provide a plurality of capacitance values to yield corresponding phase shift values based on an increment having a magnitude that is less than 90 degrees. In some implementations, the phase shifter further comprises a second transmission line element in series with the first transmission line element, the second transmission line element having an inductance and a variable capacitance on each side of the inductance configured to extend an overall phase shift range provided by the phase shifter.
