Abstract

Tunable electromagnetic properties (permeability and permittivity) of composites filled with glass-coated microwires under external magnetic field were investigated experimentally. The microwire composites have been measured with 7 mm coaxial airline fixture and vector network analyzer from 0.01 to 18 GHz. The ferromagnetic resonance may contribute to the tunability of permeability of microwire composites. The tunability of effective dielectric permittivity may be attributed to the magneto-impedance effect. The microwire composites are promising candidates for smart or tunable applications at microwave frequency.
