We describe a technique that permits broad-band, field-dependent ferromagnetic and electron paramagnetic resonance absorption measurements that is applicable to thin films and patterned micro-/nanostructured arrays and is based on a wire-wound meanderline approach. Techniques to prepare meanderlines and perform microwave measurements are described along with some demonstrations involving an electron paramagnetic resonance calibration/test material, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl, and a ferromagnetic cobalt thin film.
