This paper introduces a high-resolution and compact CMOS switch-type phase shifter (STPS) for the 5th generation mobile network (5G) n260 band. In this work, totally four coarse phase shifting stages and a high-resolution tuning stage are included. The coarse stages based on the bridged-T topology is capable of providing 202.5° phase coverage with a 22.5° tuning step. To further improve the phase shifting resolution, a compact fine-tuning stage covering 23° is also integrated with the coarse stages. Sub-degree phase shifting resolution is realized for supporting the fine beam-steering and high-accuracy phase calibration in the 5G new radio. Simplified phase control algorithm and suppressed insertion loss can also be maintained by the proposed fine-tuning stage. In the measurement, the achieved RMS gain errors at 39 GHz are 0.1 dB and 0.4 dB for the coarse stages and fine stage, respectively. The achieved RMS phase errors at 39 GHz are 3.1° for the coarse stages and 0.1° for the fine stage. Within 37 GHz to 40 GHz, the measured return loss within all phase-tuning states is always better than -14 dB. The proposed phase shifter consumes a core area of only 0.12mm2 with 65-nm CMOS process, which is area-efficient.
