The design, de¨elopment, and testing of a low-cost L-band hybrid-coupled 90Њ phase shifter are presented. The de¨eloped phase shifter uses a compact branch line coupler to minimize its size, and employs low-cost UHF band p-i-n switching diodes to minimize its production cost. The diodes in a stand-a
## Abstract Low‐cost UHF‐band __p‐i‐n__ diodes are used to develop high‐performance __L__‐band series and parallel switches. To stop the rectification of large RF signals, the diodes are biased at a large reverse‐bias voltage. Parasitic elements of the diodes are tuned out using LC circuits in bias
A no¨el switch topology is proposed in which p-i-n diodes are embedded in a transformer network free of ¨ia holes. The topology is designed to achie¨e cancellation of diode parasitics and optimization of insertion loss. Prototypes for 15 and 29.75 GHz operation showing ( ) ¨ery good insertion loss -
