Abstract

The properties of nickel zinc ferrite (Ni_0·5Zn_0·5Fe₂O₄) thick film with Ni_0·5Zn_0·5Fe₂O₄ nanopowders as active powders and linseed oil as the organic vehicle is studied and investigated in this work. Ni_0.5Zn_0.5Fe₂O₄ thick film paste samples have been prepared with various weight ratios to study the rheology properties of the pastes. Rheology results show that paste with 30% wt. Ni_0.5Zn_0.5Fe₂O₄ has suitable rheological shear-thinning behavior, which is required for formulating screen printing pastes. Dielectric and magnetic properties of the thick film show values lower than bulk Ni_0·5Zn_0·5Fe₂O₄, which is relatable to the weight ratio of the ferrite in thick film and thickness of approximately 20 μm. With a low firing temperature of 200 °C, a screen printed microstrip patch antenna with a Ni_0·5Zn_0·5Fe₂O₄ thick film layer as substrate overlay has an increase in return loss by 64.22% and also increase in bandwidth by 84.61%, which has shown great potential for microwave devices applications.
