  Effective operation of the RF cavities in the superconducting accelerators demands fast, high-power RF vector modulators. Recent progress in development of the new materials, ferroelectrics, having tunable dielectric constant and acceptable losses [*] gives the possibility development of such devises. In previous papers [**-***] the authors described different L-band ferroelectric phase shifter designs . At low RF level high operation speed of 2 degree/nsec was demonstrated in waveguide phase shifter. However, the experiments show that a special technology is to be developed that provides a good electric contact between ceramics and the metallic wall. In present paper a new design of the fast high–power ferroelectric phase shifter is described based on the simple ferroelectric elements.
