Abstract :
An experimental diplexer based on magnetostatic wave propagation in a tangentially magnetised thin film of YIG is reported. The diplexer function is obtained by using the fact that magnetostatic surface and backward volume waves propagate in contiguous but nominally nonoverlapping frequency bands.
