Abstract

A lumped constant non-reciprocal circuit element such as a circulator or an isolator comprising a set of mutually insulated central conductors, a garnet plate not more than 0.6 mm in thickness, a ceramic substrate having a central bore for accommodating the garnet plate and patterned electrodes formed thereon, and a permanent magnet for applying a DC magnetic field to the garnet plate. Because of this structure, this circuit element is very thin with good insertion loss properties.
