Automatic technique for measuring the Polder resonance in ferrite spheres

An automatic technique for measuring the parameters of Polder resonance in polycrystalline ferrite spheres is proposed. The diagonal elements of the external susceptibility tensor versus DC magnetic field are calculated from the changes in resonance frequency and unloaded Q factor of a microwave cavity by perturbation theory. From these diagonal elements, all the elements of the intrinsic permeability tensor can be obtained. By fitting the theoretical curves to experimental data, the parameters of Polder resonance, Delta H M/sub s/, and the g factor, are simultaneously calculated. The whole measurement procedure is controlled by a desktop computer. An accuracy of 5% is obtained in Delta H and M/sub s/, and of 0.1% in the g factor.
