US Patent 11791800 Apparatus and methods for phase shifting

Apparatus and methods for phase shifting are provided herein. In certain embodiments, a phase shifter includes a first port, a first controllable reflective load, a second port, a second controllable reflective load, and a pair of coupled lines that are electromagnetically coupled to one another. The pair of coupled lines includes a first conductive line between the first port and the first controllable reflective load and a second conductive line between the second controllable reflective load and the second port. At least one of the first controllable reflective load or the second controllable reflective load includes a switched transmission line load.
