Publication number: 20020017964Abstract: The present invention provides a nonreciprocal circuit device which allows the inductance component of centeral conductors to be enlarged even when a magnetic body is reduced in the size, and which is thereby capable of achieving superior characteristics over a wide band while having a small size, and further provides a communication device using the same. In this nonreciprocal circuit device, a magnetic body is formed by winding two centeral conductors around a magnetic body having a rectangular-parallelepiped plate shape so as to intersect each other at an angle of substantially 90 degrees. As these centeral conductors, metallic wires constituted of a metallic material such as copper or silver are used, the metallic wires being coated with an insulative resin such as polyester or polyimide.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2000Publication date: February 14, 2002Applicant: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takekazu Okada, Satoru Shinmura, Toshihiro Makino

Patent number: 5663698Abstract: A magnetostatic wave device includes a dielectric substrate. Micro strip lines as transducers are formed by forming a ground electrode and strip-line electrodes, on both surfaces of the dielectric substrate. A ferrimagnetic base material formed with a GGG substrate and a YIG thin film on the GGG substrate is arranged on the strip-line electrodes. The ferrimagnetic base material is formed so that the end portions slant from the strip-line electrodes outwardly. The length of the ferrimagnetic base material is established to provide a minimum value.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 1994Date of Patent: September 2, 1997Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takekazu Okada, Satoru Shinmura, Fumio Kanaya, Shinichiro Ichiguchi
