Provided are a phase shifter with a photonic band gap (PBG) structure
using a ferroelectric thin film. The phase shifter includes a microstrip
transmission line acting as a microwave input/output line and a plurality
of tunable capacitors arranged in the microstrip transmission line at
regular intervals. Electrodes disposed on a substrate apply DC voltages
to the plurality of tunable capacitors. Radio frequency (RF) chokes and
quarter wavelength radial-stubs are connected between the electrodes and
the microstrip transmission line in order to prevent high frequency
signals from flowing into a DC bias terminal. A plurality of PBGS are
periodically arrayed on a ground plane of the substrate.
