Abstract :
The use of a class of periodic structures in the design of low-cost ferrite remanence phase shifters is reported. A loading factor is developed to show the relation of device characteristics to the degree of periodic loading. Results of measurements on a sub-array of 64 phase shifters are given to illustrate the repeatability of a described simultaneous assembly technique.
