Abstract

A self-biased circulator/isolator operating at millimeter wavelength has been designed, fabricated, and tested. The ferrite material used in the device, magnetically oriented polycrystalline strontium M-type hexaferrite (SrFe₁₂O₁₉, SrM), was characterized by vibrating sample magnetometer and ferromagnetic resonance. The measurement of S-parameters indicated that at 41 GHz, the isolation was 28 dB and the insertion loss was 4 dB.
