Abstract

In this paper,the design idea and technique of the ferrite phase shifter in substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) has been reported. The characteristics of the millimeter-wave ferrite phase shifter have been firstly calculated analytically,and the relative parameters of the device have been decided on the basis of optimization. At the same time,the design procedure of transition from ferrite phase shifter in SIW to CPW has been introduced; the agreement between the simulation results of the final integrated structure and the experimental results of an equivalent model has shown the good performance of this integrated structure.
