Microwave Loss Properties of Hexagonal Ferrites for Millimeter Wave Applications.
Abstract
This short term post LRCP contract was designed to explore the application of the off-resonance effective linewidth technique to hexagonal ferrite materials at x-band frequencies. This objective has been accomplished. It has been demonstrated that the technique works quite well for both uniaxial and planar ferrite materials. The key result for millimeter wave applications is that a significant part of the microwave losses in these materials appears to be related to inhomogeneities. The effective losses which would determine insertion loss parameters for off-resonance device applications would appear to be much lower than one would infer from a direct ferromagnetic resonance linewidth determination. It was also possible to use the technique to measure the off-resonance loss properties in uniaxial materials at x-band, even though the large anisotropy fields precluded the observation of the FMR peak. The application of the technique to planar samples has also led to a new approach to the analysis of fundamental microwave relaxation processes in ferrite materials. Keyword: Microwave damping.
