Abstract:
Measurements of the transmission coefficients of linearly polarized waves in a rectangular waveguide along a metastructure formed by a transversely magnetized ferrite plate and double-split rings with varactors indicated the presence–in addition to the ferromagnetic resonance–of a resonance region of nonreciprocal passage, which is controlled, in contrast to the ferromagnetic resonance, by the electric field. This effect manifests itself in magnetic fields substantially lower than the field exciting the ferromagnetic resonance at these frequencies. Electrically controlled nonreciprocal passage of microwaves cannot be achieved by means of known natural materials or traditional ferromagnets.
