6、e fre-quencies a power loss or absorption which is a function of anapplied DC magnetic field.In many ferrites,this dependence isof a simple form,having a single maximum at some value ofthe magnetic field,which depends on the microwave frequencyand on the specimen shape.For ferrite materials showing
7、thisbehavior,it is useful to characterize the absorption by means ofan effective gyromagnetic ratio and a resonance linewidth.Note that ferrite materials exist for which the absorption has amore complex behavior as a function of DC magnetic field;thismethod is not intended to apply to such materials
8、.2.2 The value of the field for maximum absorption orresonance may be computed in terms of the magnetization ofthe sample,its geometry,the effective gyromagnetic ratio,g,and the test frequency.For the case of a small sphericalspecimen,the dependence on specimen magnetization dropsout and the effecti
9、ve gyromagnetic ratio can be computed fromthe relationship:v 5 gHr(1)where:v=2pf;f=microwave frequency,MHz;andHr=resonance magnetic field strength,Oe A/m.2.3 The second quantity characteristic of the absorption isthe ferrimagnetic resonance linewidth,DH,which for themethod described shall be defined
10、 as the separation of the twomagnetic field values at which the power absorbed by theferrite material is one half the maximum absorption.Theperformance obtainable in specific devices such as isolators,rotators,and so forth,is related to the linewidth and gyromag-netic ratio.2.4 This test method of m
11、easuring the ferrimagnetic reso-nance linewidth and the gyromagnetic ratio of a ferrite materialuses a cavity perturbation technique,which requires that thespecimen be small compared to one quarter of the wavelengthof the microwave radiation in the sample.Estimation of thiswavelength requires knowle
12、dge of the relative dielectric con-stant,k,and permeability,km,of the specimen material underthe conditions of measurement.The relative permeabilitydepends on both the frequency and the magnetic field,but canbe taken as 2 for the resonance condition in a sphere.Thewavelength in centimetres,l,in the
