Abstract. In this paper two switched-line phase shifters operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM-Band are investigated and compared among each other. For the first implementation common pin-diodes were used as switching devices. The second phase shifter was built using commercial RF MEMS switches. The comparison of the two devices considers criteria like control power and energy, quality factor, and third order intercept point among others.
