It relies on barium hexaferrite thin-films deposited by means of the cost-effective sol-gel method. The potential of the approach is first investigated in simulation based on a realistic material description. From this, critical design parameters are identified. This is followed by an experimental study. First encouraging practical results are reported. Steps for further performance improvements are discussed.enConference Paper10.1109/EuMC.2016.7824353Other
