Soft M-type hexaferrite for very high frequency miniature antenna applications
2012
We have studied soft M-type BaFe9.6Co1.2Ti1.2O19 hexaferrite for T-DMB (terrestrial digital media broadcasting) antenna applications. The effect of magneto-dynamic properties on antenna size, bandwidth, and radiation efficiency was investigated. The soft M-type BaFe9.6Co1.2Ti1.2O19 hexaferrite (Co/Ti-substituted BaM) was synthesized by a combination of ball-milling and two-step sintering processes. Permeability and loss tan δµ of the Co/Ti-substituted BaM were measured to be 4.5 and 0.039 at 200 MHz, respectively. The Wheeler cap method and network analyzer were used to evaluate antenna radiation efficiency and measure return losses, respectively. Our experimental results show that the low-loss Co/Ti-substituted BaM is an excellent soft magnetic material for VHF (very high frequency: 30–300 MHz) miniature antenna applications.
