Transmission line phase shifters are pretty narrow band.
Getting them to 5% bandwidth with reasonable phase and
amplitude stability is already not straight forward. But
for a combined GPS/Galileo/Glonass L1/L2/L5 antenna,
a bandwidth of over 30% would be needed. Not an easy task
at all. Making them work for a few select bands is a lot
easier, if still a bit non-standard. At least EM simulation
tools help a lot with that.
