Description:
Sliding radio-frequency short circuits easily adjusted for optimum impedance. Tuning elements developed for use in planar integrated circuits operating at frequencies from about 10 to more than 1,000 GHz. Purpose of such adjustment to adjust impedance presented to circuit connected to nonshorted end of transmission line and thereby optimizes performance of circuit. Mixers, oscillators, amplifiers, couplers, and phase shifters among circuits improved by incorporating tuners of this type.
