This course provides a comprehensive study of magnetic materials and their applications in microwave and millimeter-wave systems. Starting from the quantum physics of magnetism (Zeeman effect, exchange interaction), students progress through the Polder permeability tensor to the design and analysis of non-reciprocal components including circulators, isolators, and phase shifters. Emphasis is placed on practical design methodologies, full-wave electromagnetic simulation, and material characterization. The course concludes with contemporary topics in magnetostatic wave devices and spintronics for next-generation RF applications.Upon completion, students will possess the theoretical foundation and practical skills necessary to specify, design, simulate, and evaluate ferrite-based microwave components for defense, aerospace, telecommunications, and commercial applications.
