Abstract:
In order to enhance the high-power performance of the ferrite phase shifter (PS), a method of increasing waveguide height is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Dual-toroid geometry is utilized as a high-power structure. Two configurations of X-band PSs with full-height (FH) and increased-height (IH) waveguides are designed and fabricated while keeping other parameters consistent. Comparative analysis based on simulation and high-power experiments is conducted. The simulation results agree well with experiments. Compared with the FHPS, the IHPS can enhance the peak-power-capacity from 90 kW to 140 kW while maintaining almost the same insertion loss of 0.5 dB with a slight increase in differential phase shift from 360° to 380°.
