Low-Loss Highly Linear Integrated Passive Phase Shifters for 5G Front Ends on Bulk CMOS

Two passive phase shifters (PSs) are proposed to minimize insertion loss (IL) in bulk CMOS technology for 28-GHz fifth generation integrated phased-array transceivers. The first PS is based on a true delay phase shift structure, where a modification is proposed to facilitate the use of larger switch size minimizing the IL in the bypass mode. The second PS is based on matched high-pass and low-pass...
