Abstract

We propose different concepts of mechanically reconfigurable true-time-delay phase shifters using micro-actuators at millimeter-waves (MMW). The mechanical reconfiguration al- lows to achieve phase shift reconfiguration with very low losses. One of the proposed concepts has been fully implemented and tested, demonstrating state-of-the-art performance in terms of phase-shift/loss ratio.
