Patent 7446630 was granted and assigned to National Taiwan University on November, 2008 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A full range phase shifter circuit includes a power divider, a hybrid coupler, a differential phase shifter, a power combiner and switched attenuators. The power divider, hybrid coupler, differential phase shifter and power combiner comprise lumped elements and can be integrated in semiconductor processes, decreasing the circuit size of the full range phase shifter.
