YIG (Yttrium Iron Garnet)

Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) is a special type of magnetic material known for its ability to efficiently transmit microwave signals with minimal loss. It is composed of yttrium, iron, and oxygen, arranged in a crystalline structure. YIG is widely used in high-frequency electronics, such as filters and resonators, because it can manipulate electromagnetic waves precisely. Its unique magnetic properties enable it to control microwave signals without generating much heat, making it valuable in communication systems, signal processing, and scientific research.
