This paper addresses the design, the simulations and the measurements results of an original and compact MMIC phase shifter using micro-strip slow wave lines implemented in a 0.25μm SiGe BiCMOS process for Ku-band applications. The simulations and the experimental results demonstrate interesting performances compared to classical phase shifter topologies.
