This paper demonstrates that a 360° radio-frequency phase detector consisting of a combination of symmetrical mixers and 45° phase shifters with tunable devices can achieve a low phase-detection error over a wide frequency range. It is shown that the phase detection error does not depend on the voltage gain of the 45° phase shifter. This allows the usage of tunable devices as 45° phase shifters for a wide frequency range with low phase-detection errors. The fabricated phase detector having tunable low-pass filters as the tunable device demonstrates phase detection errors lower than 2.0° rms in the frequency range from 3.0 GHz to 10.5 GHz.
