Abstract

Abstract A magnetostatic wave device comprises a ferrimagnetic base material such as a thin film of YIG (yttrium iron garnet). The ferrimagnetic base material is formed on a supporting plate, for example, a GGG (gadolinium gallium garnet) substrate. On one principal surface of the thin ferrimagnetic base material, a first coupling antenna is formed. Furthermore, on one principal surface of the ferrimagnetic base material, second coupling antennas are formed on both sides of the first coupling antenna. In this magnetostatic wave device, the magnetostatic wave propagated from the first coupling antenna toward both sides of the first coupling antenna is received by the second coupling antennas on both sides of the first coupling antenna.
