The article presents results of a research of waveguide ferrite Faraday type phase shifters of a Ka-band. The phase shifter with magnetic memory, based on a square ferrite core which has no electrically conductive composition on the lateral face is characterized by enhanced performance and low power consumption. The phase shifter can be installed in phased-array antennas with beam scanning ±45˚. The authors performed an analysis and optimization of parameters of the phase shifter with the use of FEM electrodynamic models.
