Abstract-This paper presents modeling of the complex permeability spectra, fabrication and a wide frequency range characterization of a toroidal LTCC ferrite sample. A commercial ferrite tape ESL 40012 is used, and standard LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic) processing has been applied to the sample fabrication. The characterization was performed using a short coaxial sample holder and a vector network analyzer in the frequency range from 300 kHz to 1 GHz, at different temperatures. Using the model of the complex permeability spectra dispersion parameters of ferrite LTCC material has been determined for various temperatures. Characteristics of test samples are compared with modeled results and commercially available toroid made of similar NiZn ferrite material.
This paper deals with material characterization of ferrite LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic) and influence of ambient temperature variation to its complex permeability value. Results of the material characterization (chemical analysis, surface roughness) of commercially available ESL 40011 ferrite tape are presented for the first time. In addition, complex permeability dependence on frequency is determined using previously verified measurement method and developed dispersion model. Complex permeability dependence on ambient temperature variation is also measured in the frequency range up to 1 GHz. Presented results show decrease of complex permeability maximum value with temperature increase from 20 ºC to 120 ºC. Cut-back of the useful frequency range of the material is also noticeable in the same temperature range.
