Design and Characterization of an IQ Reflection-Type Vector Modulator for Ka-Band Using PIN Diodes

Vector modulators (VM) and phase shifters are essential components in phased array antennas with electronic beam steering. This work presents an IQ reflection-type vector modulator using PIN diodes, designed and implemented to operate at 28 GHz. An extensive characterization was carried out, especia...
