Loss reduction and effects of doping on performance have been important research areas for garnet ferrite. This study prepared Ca2+, In3+, and Sn4+ codoped YIG ferrite samples with the chemical formula Y3\u2212xCaxFe5\u2212x\u2212yInySnxO12 (x = 0.05\u20130.3) (y = 0.2, 0.45) via solid-state reaction. The analyses of the crystal structure, micromorphology, and magnetic properties enabled the identification of the causes of variations in parameters, such as saturation magnetization and coercivity. Theoretical calculations of the anisotropy constants clarified the patterns upon substituting Fe3+ with In3+ and Sn4+, revealing a shift in the positions of Fe3+ substitution. Finally, the primary factors influencing loss were identified, and the key process parameters influencing performance were determined. The resulting polycrystalline garnet ferrite exhibited an extremely low ferromagnetic resonance linewidth parameter (\u0394H = 29 Oe) and a high density (&gt;5.2 g\/cm3). This study provides specific guidance on process parameters and element selection for high-performance, low-loss YIG materials, as well as a detailed theoretical explanation of the performance changes resulting from co-doping YIG with In3+ and Sn4+.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma18235331","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,26]],"date-time":"2025-11-26T13:56:34Z","timestamp":1764165394000},"page":"5331","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Mechanisms Influencing Ferromagnetic Resonance Linewidth in Ca\u2013In\u2013Sn Co-Substituted Yttrium\u2013Iron Garnet Ferrites"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2093-4607","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yiwei","family":"Hu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Engineering Technology Research Center of Magnetic Materials of Anhui Province, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Anhui University, Hefei 230601, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiansong","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Engineering Technology Research Center of Magnetic Materials of Anhui Province, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Anhui University, Hefei 230601, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1872-5611","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shuangjiu","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Engineering Technology Research Center of Magnetic Materials of Anhui Province, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Anhui University, Hefei 230601, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2035","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmmm.2009.01.004","article-title":"Recent advances in processing and applications of microwave ferrites","volume":"321","author":"Harris","year":"2009","journal-title":"J.
