Abstract: A dual-band nonreversible circuit device comprises a first circulator element (91) and a second circulator element (92) accommodated in a single housing (50, 50', 60) and operable around a first center frequency (f.sub.A) and a second center frequency (f.sub.B), respectively. The first circulator element (91) is formed by a combination of a first permanent magnet (31), a first ferrite plate (21) with a first center conductor (11), and a ground conductor plate (40) successively stacked on a lower magnetic yoke (50). Likewise, the second circulator element (92) is formed by a combination of the ground conductor plate (40), a second ferrite plate (22) with a second center conductor (12), and a second permanent magnet (32) successively stacked and covered by an upper magnetic yoke (60).
