We demonstrate that a partial loading of Ni 0.5 Zn 0.5 Fe 2 O 4 (Ni-Zn ferrite) film remarkably improves impedance matching of electrically small Ba 3 Co 2 Fe 24 O 41 (Co 2 Z) hexaferrite antenna. A 3 µm thick Ni-Zn ferrite film was deposited on a silicon wafer by the electrophoresis deposition process and post-annealed at 400 o C. The fabricated Ni-Zn ferrite film has saturation magnetization of 268 emu/cm 3 and coercivity of 89 Oe. A partial loading of the Ni-Zn ferrite film on the Co 2 Z hexaferrite helical antenna increases antenna return loss to 24.7 dB from 9.0 dB of the Co 2 Z antenna. Experimental results show that impedance matching and maximum input power transmission to the antenna without additional matching elements can be realized, while keeping almost the same size as the Co 2 Z antenna size.
