Digital phase shifter

A digital phase shifter comprising:

• a first row;
• a second row arranged to extend in parallel to the first row and to overlap the first row viewed in an orthogonal direction to a direction in which the first row extends;
• and
• a connection unit electrically connecting one end of the first row and one end of the second row,
• wherein each of the first row and the second row is configured by connecting a plurality of digital phase shift circuits in cascade, each of the digital phase shift circuits including at least a signal line, two inner lines provided on both sides of the signal line, an outer line provided outside of one of the two inner lines or provided outside of the other of the two inner lines, a first ground conductor connected to one end of each of the inner lines and the outer line, a second ground conductor connected to the other end of the outer line, and two electronic switches, each of the electronic switches being provided between the other end of each of the inner lines and the second ground conductor,
• wherein the first ground conductor and the second ground conductor adjacent to each other are separated for the digital phase shift circuits adjacent to each other in the first row,
• wherein positional relationships of the outer line to the signal line are reversed for the digital phase shift circuits adjacent to each other in the first row,
• wherein the first ground conductor and the second ground conductor adjacent to each other are separated for the digital phase shift circuits adjacent to each other in the second row,
• wherein positional relationships of the outer line to the signal line are reversed for the digital phase shift circuits adjacent to each other in the second row, and
• wherein a plurality of the outer lines included in the first row are not adjacent to a plurality of the outer lines included in the second row in the orthogonal direction.
