A Method of Fabrication for Waveguide Nonreciprocal Toroidal Ferrite Phasers (Short Papers)

An improved technique for latching ferrite-phaser construction is described. It is particularly attractive when magnetostrictive ferrites or garnets are employed and for configurations utilizing high-dielectric-constant loading. The technique is capable of yielding phasers with very uniform characteristics, large figures of merit, low loss, and excellent average power capability.
