Abstract We report the demonstration of a monolithic phase shifter employing Bi1.5Zn1.0Nb1.5O7 (BZN)/Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 (BST) thin films on sapphire substrates. The BST and BZN thin films are successively deposited by radio?frequency magnetron sputtering. A distributed phase shifter with a coplanar?waveguide transmission line periodically loaded with the BZN/BST capacitors is fabricated. The return loss of the circuit is better than -13 dB from 1 to 12 GHz, and it provides 65° phase shift with an insertion loss of -4 dB at 12 GHz. The results show that BZN/BST thin films are promising candidate dielectrics for rf/microwave tunable applications.
