  2. OVERVIEW • Introduction • Linearized Equation of Motion for Magnetization • Nonlinear Oscillations of Magnetization • Nonlinear Model • IMD Data on a PCS Circulator • Summary

  3. Top Magnet Top Ground plane Ferrite Disc Central Junction H Basic Construction of a Stripline Ferrite Junction Circulator OBSERVATION: As H was increased, 3rd order IMD reduced considerably.

  4. Z mt Mz Ms h Y X Equation of Motion of Magnetization Vector Linear Theory Ho Assuming rf products (hmt) ~ 0

  5. Solution: Ferromagnetic resonance: Solution of Linearized Equation of Motion Assuming harmonic (exp(it)) time dependence of h and mt:

  7. Z Ms T3 T4 T2 T1 h Y X Nonlinear Oscillations of Magnetization • Magnetization vector does not precess in a circular path. • As the rf power is increased, higher order terms become significant and can no longer be neglected. Time derivative of mz is not zero. • Instability in the non-linear motion at high power levels depends on the anisotropy (shape, magneto-crystalline) present in the sample.

  9. Nonlinear Model • Small signal approximation: • High signal levels (for linearly polarized rf fields):

  10. Final Expression • Harmonics due to mt’s 2 dependence. • When two frequencies co-exists, combined frequencies, 21,2 ± 2,1,develop.

  13. IMD vs. Bandwidth Bandwidth is Inversely Proportional to the Internal Magnetic Field

  14. Summary • Intermodulation distortion decreases rapidly as operating field is moved away from resonance - valid for both above resonance and below resonance devices. • Above resonance devices should have better IMD performance than below resonance. • Planar anisotropy shall result in higher intermod values with respect to Isotropic conditions.
