  • Publication number: 20090219106
    Abstract: A two-port isolator comprising a central conductor assembly comprising first and second central conductors disposed on a ferrite plate, the first central conductor being connected between a first input/output port and a second input/output port, and the second central conductor being connected between a second input/output port and a ground, wherein the first and second central conductors are constituted by two conductor strip patterns formed on both surfaces of an insulating substrate, wherein the conductor strip patterns are crossing at a predetermined angle with insulation, and wherein both end portions of the conductor strip patterns extend from edges of the insulating substrate and are bent to cover side surfaces of the ferrite plate.
