Abstract:IntroductionIn modern RF/microwave systems, non-reciprocal components such as isolators and circulators [1]- [4] play an important role because it provides isolation between ports in both time and frequency. A conventional ferrite circulator [4] can be replaced by an active quasicirculator [1]-[3] even though it is not quite an ideal active circulator. The quasi-circulator is similar to the conventional except that there is no signal flow from port 3 to port 1. This active quasi-circulator has the same S-param… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
