Discrete diode microwave phase shifter

The results of research, computer simulation and development of the discrete p-i-n diodes phase shifter (PS) in the centimetric wave band are represented. The selected buildup principle allows one to create a PS that passes pulsed microwave power up to the level 2-3 kW, with relative on-off time ratio 18 and commutation speed 1-2 /spl mu/s. The application of storage units in the control system allows us to optimize PS parameters to obtain high accuracy of setting of a phase discrete value and low loss of transmitted microwave power. Test results are given.
