This thesis is the result of an exploratory investigation concerning the use of magnetized ferrite radiating elements for the construction of electronically scannable antennas Included within the thesis is a brief survey of three electronic scanning techniques and a short summary of the microwave properties of ferrites. A derivation of the ferrite tensor permeability is given in Appendix I o A discussion of three techniques which could be used to analytically determine the radiation pattern is also given. The most promising of the three appears to be the Schelunkoff Equivalence Principle. An experimental device is described which can be used with one or two element arrays to obtain beam scanning. The azimuth radiation patterns produced by these two types of antennas are presented. Measurements of the input VOS. W o R. show that the ferrite sets up large reflections at certain v a lues of applied D.C o magnetic field.
