Resumen: This paper proposes a new metric to compare digitally controlled phase shifters, denoted as Beam Steering Error (BSE). The definition of BSE is introduced by an example of a 2-bit phase shifter, and it is compared to the traditionally used RMS phase error. The advantages during simulation stage of using this new indicator are shown for a real case of a 4-bit phase shifter designed in a 65−nm CMOS process.
