Experimental and numerical investigation of a magnetic resonator antenna based on the M‐type hexaferrite (BaxSr1−xFe12O19)
Abstract
In this work is reported an experimental and numerical investigation of magnetic resonator antennas (MRA) of magnetic the alloy BaxSr1−xFe12O19 obtained in a new procedure in the solid‐state method. The experimental and theoretical characteristics of the antenna like return loss, bandwidth, input impedance, and radiation patterns are in good agreement. Numerical validation is done, taking into account the air gaps between the dielectric resonator and the metallic conductors. Frequency response bandwidth in the range of 9–10% was obtained for frequency operation around 4 GHz. The alloys BaxSr1−xFe12O19 showed a dielectric constant around 8, with loss in the range 10−2–10−3. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (τf) was also measured for magnetic alloys BaxSr1−xFe12O19. The values obtained were in the range of 44.90–87.83 ppm/°C. These results obtained confirm the potential use of those materials for small dielectric MRA. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
