The mechanical reconfiguration allows to achieve phase shift reconfiguration with very low losses. One of the proposed concepts has been fully implemented and tested, demonstrating state-of-the-art performance in terms of phase-shift/loss ratio.Low-loss Millimeter-wave Phase Shifters Based on Mechanical Reconfigurationtext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
