Complex Permittivity and Permeability Measurements and Finite-Difference Time-Domain Simulation of Ferrite Materials

Abstract

A methodology to efficiently design products based on magneto-dielectric (ferrite) materials with desirable frequency responses that satisfy electromagnetic compatibility and signal integrity requirements over RF and microwave bands is presented here. This methodology is based on an analytical model of a composite magneto-dielectric material with both frequency-dispersive permittivity and permeability. A procedure for extracting complex permittivity and permeability of materials from experimental data is based on transmission line measurements. The genetic algorithm is applied for approximating both permittivity and permeability of materials by series of Debye frequency dependencies, so that they are represented as double-Debye materials (DDM). The DDM is incorporated in the finite-difference time-domain numerical codes by the auxiliary differential equation approach.
