Abstract :
Current radar applications require the design of high power differential phase shift, ferrite circulators with increased bandwidth and reduced insertion loss. The design goal is to select a material and bias point, which avoids low-field loss, resonance damping and high power nonlinear loss to achieve bandwidth and temperature stability. Finite element solvers have been developed to analyse the dc magnetic circuit and to evaluate the microwave phase shift as a function of bias field
