Abstract
In this contribution a novel distributed circulator topology based on the integration of three active quasi-circulators is proposed. A 3 by 3 mm2 monolithic test vehicle was designed to verify the effectiveness of the approach. The MMIC demonstrator exhibits a return loss better than 10 dB while insertion loss and isolation are better than 1 dB and 15 dB respectively. Achieved operating bandwidth is 40% around the 6 GHz central frequency. © 2014 IAMOT.File in questo prodotto:
