Abstract
This paper describes a 60-GHz artificial transmission line phase shifter designed in 65-nm CMOS technology. To increase the phase shift range and preserve the matching over the entire phase shift range, the fixed series inductors in the standard line cell are substituted by tunable inductors. The required tunable inductors are constructed using a transformer with the transformer secondary loaded by a varactor. To verify the operation principle, the phase shifters, including one-, two- and three-cell, are manufactured. The experimental phase shift range is 45° for one-cell, 92° for two-cell, and 133° for three-cell line shifters. These figures are nearly 80% larger than the corresponding phase shifts in the lines consisting of cells with fixed inductors. The input/output return loss is less than 10 dB for all cases over the entire phase shift range. The average insertion loss is 3.2 dB for one-cell, 5.6 dB for two-cell, and 7.8 dB for three-cell transmission line phase shifters. The proposed continuous phase shifter achieves the highest phase shift range per area among the millimeter-wave transmission line and switch-type phase shifters reported to date.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
