The main objective of this work was to study the magnetic (aid dielectric properties of Y3Fe5O12 and Gd3Fe5O12 garnets resonator antennas obtained from a new procedure in the solid stale ceramic technique. These ferrite resonator antennas (FRAs) had the ability to change their characteristics as a function of the applied magnetic,field. The Y3Fe5O12 resonator was able to increase the antenna frequency range with application of external magnetic field. Some of the properties of dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs) can be actively, controlled by using low-loss ferrite materials. When unbiased, these ferrite resonator antennas (FRAs) exhibit similar behavior to DRAs. However when a DC magnetic bias is applied, the tensor nature of the ferrite permeability is invoked, and various parameters can be controlled electronically. We also studied the magnetic behavior of the antennas and did a numerical study of the gain and directivity of the ferrite resonator antennas. These results can he important to develop wideband third-generation (3G) cellular phones and other wireless products. (c) 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
