Magneto-inductive Wave in Periodic Chain of Ferrite Cores and Chip Capacitors

Abstract
In this paper, a magneto-inductive wave generated in a chain of LC resonators fabricated with Ni-Zn ferrite cores and chip capacitors is presented. RF signal propagates to neighbor resonator one by one as a consequence of the magnetical coupling between two resonators in the device. The magnetical coupling is due to the mutual inductances along the chain of resonators. So, the signal amplitude (${\approx}$ coupling intensity) is dependent of the mutual inductance which can be adjusted by applied magnetic field. In order to demonstrate the device, some experiments have been carried out systemically. The transmission characteristics of a magneto-inductive wave could be controlled by applied external magnetic field. The device composed of 5 resonators; the center frequencies were estimated to be 32 MHz and 38 MHz with the external magnetic flux density of 75 Oe and 222 Oe, respectively. We expect that the reported results could open a promising way to a high variety of applications in one- and two-dimensional functional devices, such as transducers, delay lines, power dividers and couplers.
