Multiferroic heterostructure fringe field tuning of meander line microstrip ferrite phase shifter
نویسندگان
چکیده
Magnetic fringe fields emanating from a multiferroic heterostructure composite of Terfenol-D and lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate were utilized to actively tune a meander line microstrip ferrite phase shifter operating above ferrimagnetic resonance at C-band. Differential phase shifts of 65° were measured when tuned with an applied voltage to the multiferroic heterostructure. This demonstration of magnetoelectric field generation provides an alternative approach to tuning broadband planar microwave magnetic devices where neither strain nor direct electromagnetic coupling is experienced between device and multiferroic transducer. © 2010 American Institute of Physics. doi:10.1063/1.3309592

Beam scanning using microstrip line on biased ferrite
The beam scanning properties of a 2-element patch array fed by a microstrip feed situated on a ferrite substrate are presented. Biasing the femte changes the phase length of the microstrip line, scanning the beam by up to 40. The resulting scan loss is -2dB, mainly due to the ferrite becoming lossy as it approaches absorption resonance. Introduction: Ferrite substrates have been the subject of...

Abstract—A microstrip 180◦ phase shifter obtained by a novel design of Microstrip-to-Coplanar Waveguide (CPW)-to-Microstrip transition is presented. The proposed phase shifter is obtained without changing the layer of the second microstrip line. Via holes are used to transfer the current from the top to the bottom substrate layer and vice versa.

A coupled-line circuit structure is proposed in this paper to design a modified Schiffman phase shifter with short reference line. Based on the traditional transmission line theory and ABCD parameters, closed-form mathematical equations for electrical and scattering parameters are obtained. Obviously, this proposed coupled-line phase shifter has several advantages such as arbitrary phase differ...
