Abstract
Solid state microwave delay lines using single crystal yttrium iron garnet (YIG) have many advantages over the conventional types of microwave frequency delay lines using coaxial cables or waveguides. YIG is a material with extremely low loss. The delay of the order of few microseconds can be obtained in a delay line using YIG rod of about 1 cm. length. This paper deals with the conversion loss as a function of the location of the turning point.
