Abstract

Abstract A ferromagnetic resonator employing a disk of ferrimagnetic material is disclosed. The ferromagnetic resonator comprises a disk of ferrimagnetic material such as yttrium iron garnet (YIG) and a magnet applying D.C. magnetic field perpendicularly to a surface of the disk, and microstrip line applying RF magnetic field to the disk. The disk of ferrimagnetic material is processed to have a groove at a predetermined position on one surface of the disk, or to have a predetermined area in a central portion of the disk with a thickness smaller than that of peripheral portion of the disk, so that spurious response caused by magnetostatic mode other than the uniform mode is suppressed.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 74 words
A ferromagnetic resonator comprising: a layer of ferrimagnetic material; means for applying a DC magnetic field perpendicularly to said ferrimagnetic layer; means for applying an RF magnetic field to said ferrimagnetic layer so as to cause ferromagnetic resonance; said ferrimagnetic layer being processed, during fabrication, to have a groove at a predetermined position on one surface of said layer so that spurious response caused by magnetostatic modes other than a uniform mode is suppressed.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 74 words
A ferromagnetic resonator comprising: a layer of ferrimagnetic material; means for applying a DC magnetic field perpendicularly to said ferrimagnetic layer; means for applying an RF magnetic field to said ferrimagnetic layer so as to cause ferromagnetic resonance; said ferrimagnetic layer being processed, during fabrication, to have a groove at a predetermined position on one surface of said layer so that spurious response caused by magnetostatic modes other than a uniform mode is suppressed.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 82 words
A ferromagnetic resonator comprising: a layer of ferrimagnetic material; means for applying a DC magnetic field perpendicularly to said ferrimagnetic layer; means for applying an RF magnetic field to said ferrimagnetic layer so as to cause ferromagnetic resonance; said ferrimagnetic layer being processed, during fabrication, to have a predetermined area in a central portion thereof with a thickness smaller than the thickness of peripheral portions of said layer so that the internal D.C. magnetic field in said thinner area is made uniform.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 82 words
A ferromagnetic resonator comprising: a layer of ferrimagnetic material; means for applying a DC magnetic field perpendicularly to said ferrimagnetic layer; means for applying an RF magnetic field to said ferrimagnetic layer so as to cause ferromagnetic resonance; said ferrimagnetic layer being processed, during fabrication, to have a predetermined area in a central portion thereof with a thickness smaller than the thickness of peripheral portions of said layer so that the internal D.C. magnetic field in said thinner area is made uniform.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 25 words
A ferromagnetic resonator according to claim 1, wherein said groove is formed about a position at which RF magnetization of the uniform mode is nullified.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 28 words
A ferromagnetic resonator according to claim 2, wherein said thinner area of said ferrimagnetic layer is an area in which RF magnetization of the uniform mode is nullified.
