Abstract: Surface waves supported by a ferrite rod, magnetized longitudinally near and below saturation, are studied experimentally using the surface wave resonator technique. Two types of slow waves ...

So building an efficient transmitting antenna is far beyond practical limits for the hobbyist. The solution here is to use a compact ferrite rod antenna. These ones can be salvaged from an AM Radio, ...

Second, there is a mode-conversion process that takes place simultaneously (probably a circularly polarized wave in the ferrite rod) that gives rise to an electric-field component in the ferrite ...

Consequently it is also one of the oldest phenomena used for construction of practical microwave ferrite components. The approach was already well known by 1956 when Ohm presented a paper discussing ...
