Phase Shifters for Radar & Wireless Communication Systems
Phase shifters are commonly employed for beam scanning in radar systems for surveillance, tracking and navigation. They also find applications in wireless communication systems such as 5G/6G networks to improvesignal quality and coverage. Depending on the specific application, different types of phase shifters are required in practical systems.
In this talk, work done on design and development of different types of phase shifters in the Centre for Applied Research in Electronics, IIT Delhi over past four decades will be presented. First the design and development of high-power ferrite phase shifters for practical phase array radar will be presented. Specifically, two configurations, namely, twin-toroid phase shifter and dual mode phase shifter with integrated radiating elements will be presented. Next, design and development of medium power pin diode-based phase shifters will be described. For wireless communication systems, the above configurations of phase shifters are not suitable due to their bigger size and weight. Development of MEMS based phase shifters will next be described. Several novel configurations with high reliability, small size and light weight will be presented. Finally, phase shifters based on ferrimagnetic nanotubes, LTCC-ferrite integration and Phase change materials will be briefly described.
