▎ 摘  要

This letter presents a voltage-controlled tunable phase shifter based on few-layer graphene. The phase shifter consists of a stub-loaded line, composed of a microstrip line with a stub attached to it through a taper and graphene pad. The bias voltage applied to the graphene pad determines a variation of graphene resistance, which eventually causes the phase change. Without any voltage bias, graphene exhibits high resistance, thus isolating the stub and leading to a low phase shift. As the bias voltage is increased, graphene resistance is lowered, the effect of the stub is more pronounced, and the phase shift is increased. A prototype operating in the frequency range from 5 to 6 GHz has been designed and tested. The measured maximum phase shift obtained is 40 degrees, and the corresponding degradation of the insertion loss is 3 dB.
