Ultrawideband microwave noise filter : Hybrid antiferromagnet/ferromagnet exchange-coupled multilayers

Hybrid multilayers of [FeNi–FeMn]N/[MnIr–FeCo]N deposited onto flexible substrates oriented for wideband noise filters were fabricated using rf sputtering deposition. By combining the two types of multilayers with various thicknesses, where FeNi–FeMn is designed for the low frequency range and MnIr–FeCo for the high frequency range, one can realize a hybrid thin film for wideband noise filters. Its broad range from 1.5 to 7 GHz (the absorption width where the reflection loss is less than −10 dB) makes this hybrid thin film promising for future applications.
