Abstract

We report a miniaturized phase shifter operating in the frequency range from 5 to 7 GHz for noise‐parameter extraction. Such a tunable solid‐state unit represents a significant reduction in the size and mass as a source‐pull component, compared to its mechanical counterparts. It provides adequate impedance coverage, ultra‐fast response, as well as high repeatability, across the designed region. A packaged low‐noise amplifier was measured at integer frequencies by use of the phase shifter on the NIST NFRad system. The measured results exhibited good accuracy. The combined uncertainties (Type‐A and Type‐B) are below 6% for both the minimum noise temperature and the magnitude of the optimum input reflection coefficient. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
