Abstract
Nowadays in Indonesia, 3D Radar has been developed to perform a vertical scanning that has multi-functional benefit in telecommunication industry and defense. As a common practice 3D radar system frequently used to measure the distance of an object like the aircraft. Therefore, the most important element in radar systems is the phase shifter that has main role to steering the beam and replace the rotator function. This final research will focus on the operation of simple Phase Shifter with concern on 2,9 GHz to 3,1 GHz radar frequency.
Keywords: Beam-steering, Microstrip, Phase Shifter.
