Abstract: A magnetically-tunable ferrimagnetic radio frequency (RF) circuit sub-assembly can include a resonant cavity comprising a first magnetically conductive member spaced apart from a second magnetically conductive member, and a side wall. The sub-assembly can include first and second ferrimagnetic elements arranged in spaced apart relation within the resonant cavity. The sub-assembly can include a transmission line comprising a first portion located for RF coupling to the first ferrimagnetic element and a second portion located for RF coupling to the second ferrimagnetic element.

Abstract: A MOD YIG epitaxial process for fabricating YIG nanofilms which, when deposited on GGG substrates, have single crystal epitaxial properties. The films may have thicknesses of 50 nm for a single layer, 100 nm for two layers, and 130 nm for three layers, and have a gyromagnetic ratio of 2.80 MHz per Oe, Gilbert damping ranges from 0.0003 to 0.001, 4?M$ values between 1650 G to 1780 G, coercivity from 1 Oe. to 5 Oe, and surface roughness of RMS 0.20 nm for up to 10 layers. Fabrication is economical and uses only a spinner, a drying station (RT to 150 C temperature control), and a quartz tube furnace that accommodates a flowing atmosphere of research grade oxygen, thereby eliminating the need for high vacuum deposition chambers.

Abstract: A magnetically tunable ferrimagnetic filter, including a top casing, a top magnetic conductor, a bottom magnetic conductor, coils, a balance coil, ferrimagnetic-based filters, and a bottom casing. The ferrimagnetic-based filters utilize ferrimagnetic resonator elements, such as yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG), configured to reduce a magnetic gap of the YIG filter and thereby to improve performance.
