这封信描述了一种新型传输线的设计，其中特性阻抗可以电子调节，它的应用移相器。可调谐传输线使微波电路设计人员具有灵活性和更好的回波损耗，从而可以提高其调谐范围。介绍了一种UHF波段分布式模拟移相器和一种可调谐传输线。制作的新型传输线的特性阻抗从10到69.5/spl Ω/，这表明它的可调谐性，和制作的UHF移相器使用这种新型线显示出更好的反射系数和更宽的调谐范围比传统的电容加载的分布移相器的可能性。
This letter describes the design of a novel transmission line, where characteristic impedance can be adjusted electronically, and its application to a phase shifter. A tunable transmission line enables microwave circuit designers to have flexibility and better return loss which can enhance its tuning range. A UHF band distributed analog phase shifter, as well as a tunable transmission line, is presented. The characteristic impedance of a fabricated novel transmission line varies from 10 to 69.5/spl Omega/, which demonstrates its tunability, and the fabricated UHF phase shifter using this novel line shows the possibility of better reflection coefficient and wider tuning range over the conventional capacitively-loaded distributed phase shifter.
