SURFACE MOUNT MICROSTRIP CIRCULATORS USING A FERRITE AND CERAMIC DIELECTRIC ASSEMBLY SUBSTRATE

Abstract:

An integrated microstrip circulator comprises a dielectric substrate having an aperture, a ferrite disc secured within the aperture in the dielectric substrate, metallization on upper surfaces of the dielectric substrate and the ferrite disc, and surface mount contacts disposed on lower surfaces of the dielectric substrate and the ferrite disc and in electrical communication with the metallization on the upper surfaces of the dielectric substrate and the ferrite disc.
