The effect of substrate thickness on the performances of MIC diode phaseshifters
Abstract
The effect of substrate thickness on insertion loss and CW power handling capability of MIC diode phaseshifters are discussed. Better performance of phased array radar demands maximum power at the output of the phaseshifter (for transmission by the antenna). The relation between change in thermal resistance and change in insertion loss due to change in substrate thickness for obtaining maximum power at the output of the phaseshifter is derived. An example is included.
