A 23.8–30.4-GHz Vector-Modulated Phase Shifter With Two-Stage Current-Reused Variable-Gain Amplifiers Achieving 0.23° Minimum RMS Phase Error

This letter presents a millimeter-wave (mm-wave) vector-modulated phase shifter (VMPS) for phased-array applications. To improve the phase-shift accuracy without drastically increasing design complexity, the proposed VMPS structure employs variable-gain amplifiers (VGAs) that offer 2× better resolution at their low-gain...
