Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004008568A1] A phase shifter for a radio antenna has a feed terminal (10, 12) and a plurality of antenna terminals (28-37, 500), each of said antenna terminals being connected, in use, to a respective one or more antenna elements. The feed terminal and antenna terminals are connected together by means of a plurality of transmission line (14, 16) comprising a plurality of conductive tracks connecting the feed terminal (10) to the antenna terminals, grand conductor means and a solid dielectric substrate sandwiched between the tracks and the ground conductor means. The shifter includes a variable delay means movable relative to the tracks so as to vary the relative times taken for the signals to travel along the tracks between the feed and the antenna terminals.
