Abstract

Novel designs of compact integrated waveguide exciters of microstrip line and coplanar stipline are presented in the article. An E-plane microstrip 0-π phase-shift modulator with independent p-i-n diode control networks has been designed at 24 GHz on the basis of proposed exciters. The total length of the integrated circuit substrate including exciters is no more than 0.62 of waveguide wavelength.
