Hi amntt,
you can design your phase shifter either with lumped or distributed elements.
this is for lumped elements
Source :

for transmission line, set it to lambda/2 wavelength. but if you want a broadbrand 180 degree phase shift, you can consider a ratrace 180 degree coupler
refer to : **broken link removed**
It is impossible to have an ideal S12 of 0 (magnitude). you can increase (as in really reduce the S12) the isolation by doing a cascoding circuit as it boosts the output impedance and further enhancing the isolation between input and output ports.
Please correct me if I gave any wrong information.

Hi again,
As I am seeing and referring to your thread
https://www.edaboard.com/threads/308585/#post1320585
I have a few questions:
1) what did you mean by 'don't let S12 pass'?, Your S12 is already very good from the looks of the S-param simulation. However your gain is 0dB? Check the Gmax, Fmax and Ft. without i/p and o/p matching, there should at least still be some gain.
2) why not try completing the matching network and see the results thereafter?
after these then you can add in the 180 degree ratrace coupler to your output to phaseshift S21 to 180 degree. OR if it isn't 0 degree right now, some adjustments need to be made.
