Abstract
Systems and methods for an injection molded phase shifter are provided. In at least one embodiment, a method for fabricating a phase shifter comprises fabricating a ferrite element with first and second ends, wherein electromagnetic energy propagating through the ferrite element propagates between the first the second end; placing the ferrite element within a waveguide mold; and injecting a liquefied dielectric into the mold, wherein the liquefied dielectric hardens to form first and second solid dielectric layers that abut against out-of-plane surfaces of the ferrite element. The method further comprises exposing in-plane surfaces of the ferrite element, wherein the in-plane surfaces extend longitudinally between the first and the second end and are orthogonal to the out-of-plane surfaces that extend longitudinally between the first and the second end; masking surfaces through which electromagnetic energy is emitted into and transmitted from the phase shifter; and plating the exposed surfaces.
