Abstract

This work reports the design, fabrication, and characterization of coupling-enhanced magnetostatic forward volume wave resonators with significant spur suppression. The fabrication is based on surface micro-machining of yttrium iron garnet (YIG) film on a gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG) substrate with thick gold transducers. A distributed resonator is used to excite forward volume waves in YIG to realize a frequency dependent coupling boost. Fabricated devices at 18 GHz and 7 GHz show coupling coefficients as high as 13%\% and quality factors above 1000. Higher-order magnetostatic mode suppression is experimentally demonstrated through a combination of transducer and YIG geometry design. An edge-coupling filter topology is proposed and simulated which utilizes this novel distributed magnetostatic resonator.
