  • Patent number: 7167064
    Abstract: A phase shift circuit and a phase shifter are achieved which are small in size and wide in bandwidth. The phase shift circuit includes a capacitor, and a series circuit composed of a switching element which exhibits capacitivity when it is in an off-state and an inductor connected in series with this switching element, the series circuit being connected in parallel with the capacitor. The capacitor and one terminal of the series circuit are connected with a high frequency signal input/output terminal, and the other terminal thereof is connected with ground.

  • Patent number: 7123116
    Abstract: A phase shifter includes an FET 2a having its drain electrode connected to an input/output terminal 1a; and FET 2b having its drain electrode connected to the source electrode of the FET 2a and its source electrode connected to an input/output terminal 1b; and FET 2c having its drain electrode connected to the source electrode of the FET 2a; and an inductor 3a having its first terminal connected to the source electrode of the FET 2c and its second terminal connected to a ground. It can reduce the insertion loss by narrowing the gate width of the FET 2a, and carries out the phase shift of a high-frequency signal with suppressing the reflection.

  • Patent number: 5701107
    Abstract: A phase shifter, which can switch between a phase delay circuit and a phase leading circuit consisting of inductors and capacitors, is constituted by disposing FETs having inductors or capacitors arranged in parallel with the source and drain electrodes of each FET connected and controlling a bias voltage to be applied to the gate electrodes of the FETs to switch between the on and off conditions of the FETs. Thus, a phase shifter obtained has a small frequency characteristic.

  • Patent number: 5680079
    Abstract: There is provided a small size phase shifter which can shift a phase by 180 degrees wherein the accuracy of preset phase is less dependent on frequency. The phase shifter comprises first to fourth switches provided between a first line pair and a second line pair. By turning the first and second switches ON and the third and fourth switches OFF, a signal inputted to the first line pair is outputted from the second line pair in phase. By turning the first and second switches OFF and the third and fourth switches ON, a signal inputted to the first line pair is outputted from the second line pair out of phase. A small-size phase shifter which has the accuracy of preset phase less dependent on frequency can then be obtained.
