Electromagnetic simulation software is used for modeling the properties of a 2–15 GHz liquid crystal microstrip phase shifter previously designed at Thomson-CSF. After experimental validation of the computed results, the software is applied to the modeling of a new 30–40 GHz multilayer microstrip phase shifter, where the active medium is a liquid crystal inserted between solid dielectric substrates. Measurements carried out at between 10 and 40 GHz on 4.35 cm long lines are in good agreement with theoretical predictions. A maximum experimental phase shift of 219.3° at 37 GHz (about 50°/ cm) was observed for a structure with a commercial liquid crystal (BDH-E44) and silica substrates.
