HIGH POWER FAST FERRITE SWITCHES.

Abstract

Research concerns the design and development of single-pole double-throw high power fast ferrite switches for C-band and S-band. Several possible approaches to the rapid high power switch were considered, and testing was conducted on the approach which appears the most promising, the partially-filled cutoff-waveguide type switch. A brief technical background is presented, and the results of tests are discussed in detail. Satisfactory low power switching characteristics were attained, except that the insertion loss in one case and reflection loss in another are greater than dictated by the device requirements. This approach was tentatively selected as the one to be followed, depending upon the characteristics of the switching elements at high power. (Author)
