ABSTRACT
Phase shifter (PS) is a key component of a phased array antenna (PAA) system, which controls the microwave phase and realizes the antenna beam forming and scanning. A ferrite PS (FPS) is a current-controlled PS that uses the ferrite's gyromagnetic properties to realize phase shifting. It has the advantages of short phase switching time, low microwave loss, and high reliability and, therefore, has been widely used in low-power PAA systems. However, the power handling capability of the traditional Ku-band FPS is only a few kW, prohibiting FPS from being used in high-power microwave (HPM) PAA systems. Spurred by this concern, this paper proposes a new dual-toroid FPS structure with an external magnetic excitation. By optimizing the PS configuration, improving the integration process, and enhancing the performance of ferrite materials, a single FPS in the Ku band has reached the power handling capability of more than 300 kW with an insertion loss of less than -1.2 dB, the phase shift range of 0°-360°, the width less than 11.5 mm, and the ability of a one-dimensional array. The FPS has the potential to be used in the PAA of an HPM system, laying a foundation for the research of the HPM PAA system.
