A miniaturized coplanar waveguide (CPW) on a Y-cut LiNbO3 substrate operating in Radio Frequency region (RF) is proposed for studying of magnetostrictive multi-layered structure. The structure is composed of a 14 × [TbCo2 (3.7 nm)/FeCo (4 nm)] nanostructured multi-layer. Using microtechnology process, the miniaturized CPW has been designed with a 50 µm wide signal line in the frequency range from 6 MHz to 6 GHz. Electromagnetic simulations based on ®Ansys/HFSS demonstrate insertion losses less

... han 2 dB and show that the magnetic field is more confined in the nanostructured multi-layer placed on top of the micro-sized CPW. By using Vectorial Network Analyzer (VNA) the Ferromagnetic Resonance (FMR) is investigated from the reflection (Sii) or transmission (Sij) coefficients of scattering parameters. An inversion model is finally used to extract the complex permeability spectrum of the thin-film in a large frequency range.
