Abstract:
Provided is a liquid crystal phase shifter, including a first substrate and a second substrate opposite to the first substrate; a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates; phase-shifting units each including a microstrip line, a phased electrode and two feed terminals, the microstrip line is located between the first substrate and the liquid crystal layer, the phased electrode is located between the second substrate and the liquid crystal layer, the two feed terminals are located at a side of the first or second substrate facing away from the other, and in a direction perpendicular to the first substrate, two ends of the microstrip line respectively overlap the two feed terminals, the phased electrode includes at least two sub-electrodes spaced apart from each other, and the microstrip line includes effective line segments respectively corresponding to each sub-electrode, and the sub-electrodes covers a corresponding effective line segment.
