Aluminum EM antenna was developed, and nanostructured NiZn magnetic feeders were used to increase the field strength from EM antenna for deep hydrocarbons. The doping of Ni2+ was aimed at the optimization of initial permeability and magnetic losses. Ni0.5+xZn0.5-xFe2O4 (x = 0.3) samples sintered at 950°C presented highest initial permeability (106.23) and low magnetic loss (0.0002) as compared to other samples. Due to better magnetic properties, Ni0.5+xZn0.5-xFe2O4 (x = 0.3) samples were used as magnetic feeders for EM antenna. Magnitude of EM waves from the antenna increased up to 186. © 2014 The American Ceramic Society. publisher: Blackwell Publishing Ltd date: 2015 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Niaz Akhtar, M. and Yahya, N. and Sattar, A. and Ahmad, M. and Idrees, M. and Hasan Asif, M. and Azhar Khan, M.
