Abstract
Materials and methods for the fabrication of high density, low temperature fired microwave ferrites for use in microwave power devices, transmission line elements, isolators, circulators, and phase shifters. Very fine (sub-micron) ferrite powders made by sol-gel methods are mixed with solvents and binders then tape-cast. Ferrite tapes in the unfired state are cut into complex shapes and may be provided with via holes. These ferrite sheets are fired discretely, or are laminated, cofired with printed metal pastes, or other active and passive ceramic tapes.
