Abstract: A magnetostatic wave device in which waves propagate in a layer of magnetic material grown on a non-magnetic crystalline substrate with a grating arranged in the wave path for modifying propagation velocity. The grating is formed by ion implantation without removal of magnetic material so coupling with spin modes is avoided.

Abstract: The volume magnetostatic wave device comprises a unidirectional-radiation transducer composed of equidistant microstrips connected to a polyphase transformer and coupled to a ferrimagnetic wafer which is subjected to a polarizing magnetic field.

Abstract: The invention relates to bulk or surface magnetostatic wave devices. The invention provides in the ferrimagnetic substrate of such a device, at least one area with absorption increased by a treatment consisting in local sanding of the substrate or its support to produce several defects by the impact of abrasive particles. The invention is applicable to magnetostatic wave lines and filters.

Abstract: The invention relates to an interaction device comprising a non-magnetic substrate, a thin easy-plane magnetic layer, two piezoelectric transducers arranged at the ends of the magnetic layer and respectively receiving the two electrical signals to be treated. The signals applied are converted into elastic surface waves which are transmitted to the magnetic layer in the form of magnetoelastic waves propagated in opposite directions. The device is subjected to an external magnetic field. The variations in magnetization in the interaction zone are collected by a detection plate and characterize the interaction between the two signals.

Abstract: The invention relates to elastic surface-wave structures. The elastic surface wave structure in accordance with the invention comprises a non magnetic substrate and a surface wave transducer containing at least one emissive zone situated in a deposited layer of magnetostrictive material subjected to an alternating magnetic field and to a magnetic polarization field.
