Description

This technology uses the non-usual electromagnetics properties of metamaterials to create a phase shifter that can be easily tuned just by changing the carrier frequency of the input signal.

Features:
- Transmission line tunable on a carrier frequency between 1 and 100 GHz (or more)
- Increases the bandwidth while reducing the losses
- Suitables for any planar circuits
- Generates both continuous and impulse delayed signals

Potential Applications

All areas of radio signal processing

State of Development

Prof. Caloz and his team have already built a first prototype and validated the theory on several circuit simulations.
