In this paper, fully integrated RF MEMS phase shifters with low insertion loss, narrow frequency band, and constant phase shift are designed, fabricated, and characterized for mobile satellite broadcasting/communication systems. The fabricated phase shifters are comprised of CPW lines, short/open ended-stubs, and RF MEMS capacitive shunt switches. The constant phase shift can be obtained by optimizing the length of the open-ended stub and the short-ended stub. The fabricated 3-bit phase shifter has insertion loss of avg. -2.0 dB, return loss of min. -10 dB, and phase error of avg. 2.0/spl deg/, respectively. The utilized RF MEMS switches are operated at between 15 and 20 volts.
