Determination of the Gyrotropic Characteristics of Hexaferrite Ceramics From 75 to 600 GHz

Abstract

The work reported in this paper is in support of applications of ferrites in measurement systems operating at frequencies in the range 100-600 GHz. Measurements of the magneto-optical characteristics of selected grain-oriented hexaferrite ceramics from 75 to 600 GHz are described; a quasi-optical transmissometer driven by a multiband vector-network-analyser is used to provide the required high dynamic range, spectral-resolution, and scan-speeds. The implications of the results of the measurements are examined.
