The aim of present research is to study the influence of sintering temperature on the preparation of nanocrystalline Yttrium Iron garnet (YIG) with improved magnetic properties. The nanocrystalline YIG powders were synthesized using Microwave-Hydrothermal (M-H) method. The synthesized powders were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). The powders were sintered at various temperatures using microwave sintering method. The sintered samples were characterized using XRD. The complex permeability, dielectric constant and loss tangent of sintered YIG ceramic were also measured and discussed in this paper
