Hello, I'm looking for a voltage controlled phase shifter for operation at around 125MHz. RF bandwidth only needs to be a few MHz or so (more is fine), but I'd like to keep insertion loss consistent vs phase shift (maybe <3dB over its full range). Need a phase shift range of up to 90 degrees. Need something that can be board mounted (no cable modules).
I've looked around at all the companies I know, but the only thing I could find is the **broken link removed** (which looks like it work fine, but it's actually much more than I'm asking for, and is pretty expensive at $30). Board mount phase shifters in this frequency range seem to be pretty rare.
I'm totally open to making my own design as well; in fact I'd prefer it that way. After doing some googling, the best resource on phase shifter design I've found is **broken link removed**, where it goes over a few different topologies, but very little information on their actual performance (phase range, S21 dispersion vs phase, etc). Are there more sophistocated techniques for achieving performance like the minicircuits part, such as adding more stages with smaller tuning range per stage?
Thanks in advance!
