Abstract
This paper describes the design approach and characteristics of an air-cooled ferrite half-wave plate operating in the vicinity of 1.3 GHz. frequency at a peak power level of 65 kW. and an average power level of 6,500 W. Measured data are presented for an engineering model unit with 0.4 dB. maximum insertion loss, capable of switching between any two states in approximately 500 microseconds.
