Magnetic and dielectric properties of hexagonal ferrites important for applications in microwave absorbers are strongly determined by the processing conditions. We studied dielectric and magnetic response of Sr_{1-x}Nd_{x}Fe₁₂O₁₉ (x=0, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.09) solid solutions obtained by coprecipitation method. The structure of the samples was controlled by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope images revealed that the powder is a mixture of small nanograins and crystallites of 500 nm-1 μm in size. Nd³⁺ doping was found to result in an increase in the coercive field which we would like to relate to the domain wall pinning. The doping-induced changes are monotonous with x up to 0.07. The observed dispersion of permittivity was found to be correlated with the frequency behaviour of electric conductivity of the samples.
