The present disclosure relates to a linkage mechanism for a phase shifter assembly, comprising a rotation device having a rotation shaft fixed to a substrate of the phase shifter assembly and a rotation member configured to rotate about said rotation shaft; a first drive member which can be operatively engaged to the rotation member such that rotation of the rotation member can cause movement of the first drive member; a second drive member disposed on and moving together with the rotation member; and a translation device including a translation member which can be operatively engaged to the second drive member such that movement of the second drive member can cause movement of the translation member, wherein the rotation device and the translation device are configured to move in association with each other during operation of the phase shifter assembly. The present disclosure also relates to a phase shifter assembly including the above-mentioned linkage mechanism.
