Abstract
A planar phase shifter having plural layers of ferrite forming a closed magnetic toroidal path and including internal layers of dielectric material of a relatively high dielectric constant and underlying layers of dielectric material having a relatively low dielectric constant. A stripline to slot line transition is also formed at least at one end of the device. All of the elements are formed over a ground plane and have either metallized external sidewalls or a set of metallized vias running through the outer wall portions over its length.
