Dielectric and magnetic properties of substituted Li–Zn ferrite thick films clouded over a half wavelength microstrip rejection filter

详细

Li_0.35–0.5xMg_xZn_0.3Fe_2.35–0.5xO₄ nanoparticles (x = 0, 0.14, 0.28, 0.42, 0.56, and 0.70) were prepared by low-cost combustion synthesis at relatively low temperature. Thick films of Li–Mg–Zn ferrite were prepared by screen printing method and characterized by XRD and microwave characteristics at microwave frequencies (within X- and Ku-bands) by overlay technique using λ/2 rejection filter. The influence of magnesium content x on the resonance frequency, quality factor, effective dielectric constant, complex permittivity, complex permeability, microwave conductivity, and penetration depth was explored.
