Ferrite circulator, a microwave device which couples RF
power from any port to next adjacent port and high
attenuation in reverse direction, finds wide range of
applications including duplexer, switch and isolator in RF
systems. Circulator operation is based on tensor
permeability due to ferrimagnetic resonance, which occurs
in gyro magnetic materials biased by dc magnetic field.
When DC magnetic field is applied to ferrite, spin axes of
electrons align themselves along with the field in a short
time. If additional perpendicular RF magnetic field is also
applied to it, the electrons precess about the axis of dc field.
Precessional (Larmor) frequency as a function of magnetic
ID:235
resonance, absorption of RF power takes place in the
material, which is dissipated as heat.
The circulation phenomena in a junction circulator is due
to superimposition of two wave components or modes.
Condition for circulation is that the phase difference of
counter rotating modes with each other must be integer
multiple RI ʌ DW FRXSOHG SRUW (for constructive
interference), and odd integer multipOH RI ʌ DW LVRODWHG
port (for destructive interference) [1]. When the ferrite is
not magnetized, two modes have same resonant frequency.
When a dc magnetic field is applied to ferrite, two
(degenerate) modes resonate at different frequencies,
conditions of circulation are satisfied and standing wave
pattern rotates [3] as in Fig. 1, and RF power circulation
occurs. Rotation of the standing wave pattern, causes the
maxima of electric field to be rotated towards port-2 i.e.
coupled port, and minima closer to port-3 i.e. isolated port.
The operating frequency of circulator is between resonant
frequencies of two counter rotating modes.
