Solution of Some Problems oOf Single-Scale Wavelet Transform Processor Using a Magnetostatic Surface Wave Device

In this paper, we investigate the implementation schemes of a single-scale wavelet transform processor using magnetostatic surface wave (MSSW) devices. There are three implementation schemes: the interdigital transducer, the meander line transducer and the grating transducer. Because the interdigital transducer has excellent properties, namely, good frequency characteristic and low insertion loss, we use the interdigital transducer as the implementation scheme of a single-scale wavelet transform processor using MSSW device. In the paper, we also present the solutions to the three key problems: the direct coupling between the input transducer and the output transducer, the insertion loss, and the loss characteristics of the gyromagnetic film having an influence on the wavelet transform processor. There are two methods of reducing the direct coupling between the input transducer and the output transducer: increasing the distance between the input transducer and the output transducer, and placing a metal “wall” between the input transducer and the output transducer. There also are two methods of reducing the insertion loss of a single-scale wavelet transform processor using a MSSW device for scale: the appropriate thickness of the yttrium iron garnet (YIG) film and the uniform magnetic field.The smaller the ferromagnetic resonance linewidth of the gyromagnetic film , the smaller the magnetostatic wave propagation loss.

Pulsed Laser Deposited Y3Fe5O12 Films for Magnetostatic Wave Band Pass Filters

Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) films were pulsed laser deposited onto the Gd3Ga5O12(111) substrates. Processing conditions were optimized to obtain films with a narrow ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) linewidth: 0.9 Oe in 1.22 μm thick YIG at 9 GHz. Due to sharp film-to-substrate interface YIG films remain strained hence possess unusually high lattice mismatch induced uniaxial anisotropy Hu = - 880 Oe. We fabricated and tested magnetostatic surface wave (MSSW) band pass hybrid-type filters with YIG film lain on transducers alumina board. MSSW filter with antennas areal size of 2 mm2 at 7.5 GHz shows insertion loss – 9 dB and a resonant 3 dB bandwidth as narrow as 12.5 MHz.
