The invention belongs to the technical field of integrated circuits and relates to a design of a phase shifter applied in an X-wave band (8-12 GHz) phased array receiver. The phase shifter consists of a transformer type balun, a multiphase filter, four sub phase shifters and a combiner circuit, wherein in the picture one, the phase shifting precision of the four sub phase shifters is 3-digit, and 8 phase shifting states are realized in the range of 0-360 degrees by the sub phase shifters through taking 45 degrees as a phase shifting step value; in the picture three, the four sub phase shifters and other circuits form an X-wave band phase shifter of which the phase shifting precision is 5-digit, and 32 phase shifting states are realized in the range of 0-360 degrees by the phase shifter through taking 11.25 degrees as a phase shifting step value. Firstly, a signal VIN in input at a single end, differential signals VIN+ and VIN- are obtained by the transformer type balun, a group of orthometric differential signals VIN_I+, VIN_I-, VIN_Q+ and VIN_Q- are obtained after the differential signals VIN+ and VIN- pass by the multiphase filter, the group of orthometric differential signals are the input of the sub phase shifters, and after the output signals of the four sub phase shifters are compounded by the combiner circuit, output signals VOUT+ and VOUT- are obtained.
