V. Demidov et al., Electrically tunable microwave phase shifter based on layered ferrite-ferroelectric structure, ELECTR LETT, 37(19), 2001, pp. 1154-1156
A novel electrically tunable microwave phase shifter is proposed based on s
urface spin wave propagation in a layered structure containing ferrite and
ferroelectric materials. Operating characteristics of the phase shifter are
investigated theoretically. It is shown that waveguiding elements from pla
nar layered ferrite-ferroelectric structures allow the construction of comp
act devices with high electrical tunability achieving 10 degrees /V.
