Methods of forming tunable resonators using high dielectric constant ferrite rods

Abstract:

Disclosed are methods of forming a single-piece magnetically tunable ferrite rods that can be used for radio-frequency (RF) applications, including using synthetic garnets. This can include methods of forming cellular towers and antennas. In some embodiments, a separate tuner need not be used in the resonator during magnetic tuning. Examples of fabrication methods and RF-related properties are disclosed.
