Solution Overview

Problem

Existing materials fail to effectively combine high electrical permittivity and high magnetic permeability without destroying dielectric enhancement, leading to inefficiencies in electromagnetic wave transmission and large sizes of electromagnetic objects like antennas and waveguides.

Innovation Solution

A magneto-dielectric composite material is created by combining high permittivity and high permeability materials under low pressure, maintaining dielectric enhancement and achieving relative values within a factor of 10 of each other, allowing for miniaturization of electromagnetic objects while maintaining efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If high permittivity and high permeability materials are combined under conventional pressure, then both high permittivity and high permeability are achieved, but dielectric enhancement is destroyed
