- We experimentally investigate frequency-selective spin wave (SW) transmission in a micrometre-scale, ring-shaped magnonic resonator integrated with a linear Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) stripe. Using super-Nyquist-sampling magneto-optical Kerr effect microscopy (SNS-MOKE) and micro-focused Brillouin light scattering (μ-BLS), we probe SW dynamics in the dipolar regime under in-plane magnetisation. Spatially resolved measurements reveal a sharp transmission peak at 3.92 GHz for an external field of 74 mT, demonstrating strong frequency selectivity. Our results show that this selectivity arises from scattering and interference between multiple SW modes within the ring. These modes are governed by the anisotropic dispersion relation, transverse mode quantisation due to geometric confinement, and inhomogeneities of the effective magnetic field. In addition, the anisotropy enforces fixed group velocity directions, leading to caustic-like propagation that limits efficient out-coupling. Fourier analysis reveals discrete wavevector components consistent with quantised transverse eigenmodes. Additional μ-BLS measurements at 70 mT show a shift of the transmission peak, confirming that the filtering characteristics are tunable by external parameters.
