Digitally controlled phase shifter and method
Abstract:
A digitally controlled phase shifter for an antenna is provided. The phase shifter includes a coupler extending between input and output ports and first and second digitally tunable capacitance circuitry coupled to opposite ends of the coupler. Each first and second digitally tunable capacitance circuitry includes a digitally tunable capacitance. The phase shifter also includes control circuitry that includes at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, upon execution by the at least one processor, cause the control circuitry to vary the capacitance of the digitally tunable capacitance of at least one of the first and second digitally tunable capacitance circuitry in order to modify a phase shift provided by the phase shifter. A control circuitry and a method are also provided for controlling the phase shift provided by a phase shifter.
