Ferrite materials are widely used in electronic equipment such as computers, communication devices, power management systems, etc. They serve as inductive components, transformers, magnets, magnetic field absorbers, and suppressors.
Continual exploration of new materials helps not only to improve performance but to reduce size and power consumption. Recent progress in the material science and nanotechnology area has created new types of ferrite materials and components.
Evaluation of magnetic characteristics of those materials is important in predicting the performance of the components. Performance includes permeability and loss of the material at various frequencies where the devices are used.
Impedance analyzers used with magnetic material fixtures provide precise, repeatable, cost-effective, and easy-to-operate measurement systems over a wide frequency range.
