  • Publication number: 20240118382
    Abstract: A phase shifting system, a chip, and a radar sensor are provided. A respective transmission line phase-shifting unit is configured to receive at least one phase shifting control signal and to shift a phase of a RF signal by a first phase or a second phase. Each transmission line phase-shifting unit includes a first group of transmission lines and a second group of transmission lines. At least some transmission lines in the first group of transmission lines of each transmission line phase-shifting unit are physically isolated from at least some transmission lines in the first group of transmission lines of an adjacent transmission line phase-shifting unit and transmission lines of the second group of transmission lines of each transmission line phase-shifting unit are coupled to respective transmission lines of the second group of transmission lines of an adjacent transmission line phase-shifting unit.

  • Publication number: 20240120653
    Abstract: A transmission line phase shifter, a chip, and a radar sensor are provided. The transmission line phase shifter includes at least one transmission line phase-shifting unit. At a calibration stage, a preset number of transmission line phase-shifting units are configured to be in a state of a first phase or in a state of a second phase and configured to output an output RF signal, such that phase calibration information of each transmission line phase-shifting unit is determinable. At an operation stage, the phase adjusting circuit of the respective transmission line phase-shifting unit is configured to receive a corresponding phase shifting control signal and to adjust the respective transmission line phase-shifting unit, to enable the respective transmission line phase-shifting unit to shift a phase of an input RF signal by a calibrated first phase or a calibrated second phase.
