A highly sensitive method for measuring μ\´
±- jμ\´\´
±of ferrites far from the ferrimagnetic resonance region is proposed which makes use of the resonance splitting of counter-rotating TE
11modes in the cylindrical metallic cavity resonator Filled with axially biased ferrite specimen. With a Filling factor of unity, both the frequency splitting and the change of reciprocal

are large enough to enable μ\´
±- jμ\´\´
±, in particular μ\´\´
±, to be measured to a maximum sensitivity of about 5 × 10
-5.
