摘要:
The linearity of group delay versus frequency in magnetostatic wave delay lines is improved by a linear variation of one of three discrete parameters in the region between the two delay line transducers. The parameter variation is applied to magnetostatic wave delay lines that have a ground plane, a magnetic garnet crystal film substrate that is spaced from the ground plane and has transmitting and receiving transducers engaged to it, and a magnetic bias field. The discrete parameters varied are the magnetic bias field; the distance of the substrate from the ground plane; and the thickness of the substrate. Appropriate linear variations of any one of the these parameters provides improved linearity of group delay versus frequency.

A planar phase shifter formed of multiple layers of a ferrite. Selected layers of the ferrite are patterned with a conductor and the multiple layers of magnetic dielectric and conductor are cofired. The phase shifter is fabricated by first obtaining ferrite powder. Then, layers of the ferrite are made, preferably by tape casting. Next the ferrite layers are metallized by applying selected amounts of conductive metals in a selected pattern upon the tape. Selected numbers of vias are placed through selected layers of tape and conductive metal is placed in the vias to provide vertical connections through the layers. The tape layers are then stacked in a predetermined order and are laminated. The laminated stack of layers is then fired to a temperature of approximately 800.degree. C. to 1000.degree. C., sintering the laminated layers into one integrated structure.

An arrangement for improving the frequency plane delay linearity of a frequency dispersive delay line of the type employing ferrite film materials such as yttrium iron garnet. Linearity improvement involves use of frequency selective transducers located at successively different delay locations in the transmitting and receiving areas of the delay line together with ground plane effects and out of phase signal coupling to the transducer elements including exemplary use of a particular type of microwave transmission line for coupling to the magnetic film.

A magnetostatic wave device for microwave signal processing which includes an input or output transducer finger arrangement which allows shaping of the device response. Two sets of interdigitated fingers are connected to receive the same microwave input signal which is power divided between the two sets. The fingers of one set are substantially parallel to, and in side-by-side relationship with, the fingers of the other set. The device may be used for delay lines, filters, signal correlation, oscillators and numerous other microwave signal processing arrangements.
