"By adjusting the magnetic field," says Xingyu Du, a doctoral student in Olsson's lab and the first author of the paper, "the YIG filter achieves continuous frequency tuning across an extremely broad frequency band."
From Science Daily
"Our filter is 10 times smaller than current commercial YIG filters," says Du.
From Science Daily
When exposed to a magnetic field, the magnetic spin wave generated by YIG changes frequency.
From Science Daily
In addition to being tunable, the new filter is also tiny -- about the same size as a quarter, in contrast to previous generations of YIG filters, which resembled large packs of index cards.
From Science Daily
