We present a novel RF phase-shifter design with a usable bandwidth of 80:1. The design is verified through demonstration of a proof of concept device, consisting of a readily available voltage variable optical coupler fabricated from LiNbO3, combined with an optic-fiber delay line. The design is analyzed theoretically and measurement of the device confirms the predicted range of operation. Methods of extension of this range of operation are discussed. © 1999 IEEE.
