Abstract: A microstrip circulator includes a carrier and a ferrite slab having a first side and a second side. The circulator further includes a first microwave epoxy positioned between the carrier and the first side of the ferrite slab. The circulator further includes a conductor having a center portion with three legs extending therefrom. The circulator further includes a second microwave epoxy positioned between the second side of the ferrite slab and the conductor. The circulator further includes an insulator and a third microwave epoxy positioned between the conductor and the insulator. The circulator further includes a magnet and a fourth epoxy positioned between the insulator and the magnet.

Abstract: A ferrite stripline circulator having low cost, broad tolerance elements and an easy to assembly design. The unit comprises of a cylindrical housing into which are stacked a ferrite disk, a center conductor, another ferrite disk, a metal ground plane, a disk magnet, a metal cover and a compression spring. A C-clip, that fits into a groove on an upper inner circumference of the cylinder, forces the compression spring against the cover and thereby applies the pressure that is required to assure proper operation of the stacked elements.
