Abstract (en)

A Faraday rotation device for use in microwave apparatus includes a ferrite member 1 which is of polygonal transverse section over a substantial part of its length, the transverse section preferably being substantially square or rectangular. The member includes tapered sections 2 and 3 which are pyramidal in shape. This configuration provides good performance and facilitates manufacture.
