Abstract

This article reports the simulated performance of rectangular coaxial ferrite phase shifter at Ka-band. The proposed technique exploits rectangular coaxial waveguide with a symmetrically placed inner signal conductor inside an outer conductor connected to the ground. Strontium ferrite-SU8 composite is used as an anisotropic material of choice in the modeled design. Two model phase shifting structures were designed for reciprocal and nonreciprocal applications using High Frequency Structure Simulator, HFSS. The reciprocal model produced a tunable phase shift of almost across 0 to 400 kA/m applied field and at 1800 Gauss. The predicted simulated performance of the nonreciprocal phase shifter was from a reference phase of at 0 A/m at the same saturation magnetization. A return loss better than 20 dB and an insertion loss less than 1.5 dB were predicted for the two models. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE 25:502–509, 2015.
