HIGH POWER C BAND PHASE SHIFTERS

Abstract

The report outlines the present status of the program and includes techniques developed in attaining the high power performance of ferrite digital phase shifters. Test results confirming these techniques are also given. Structural studies have been carried out to assure compatibility of designs with phased array requirements. Cross-sections have been reduced to a minimum by careful location of cooling passages. Driving techniques for phased arrays were studied to determine trigger mode, repetition rates, switching rates, switching accuracy and primary power requirements. A scheme for triggering a single-bit phase shifter is outlined in detail. Magnetostrictive high power effects of YIG and CVB materials are under investigation and the present status of materials investigation as related to this program is given.
