The design of microstrip ferrite coupled line (MFCL) circulators using normal mode theory and the first proof-of-principle experiments are described. The longitudinally magnetized ferrite slab is positioned on top of a pair of microstrip lines to form the FCL and this is used with a T -junction and

✦ Synopsis
The normal-mode approach is used to design stripline-type ferrite coupled line circulators with alumina as a substrate and ferrite as a superstrate. The measurements that are taken clearly demonstrate the nonreciprocal behavior of these devices, with an average insertion loss of 5 dB and an isolation of ؊12 dB. It is found that the three-port circulator has a broader bandwidth (9 -14 GHz) than that of the four-port circulator (9 -12 GHz), and the hybrid coupler has been identified as the bottleneck in the latter.

## Abstract This paper describes investigations of the longitudinally ferrite circulator realized in slot‐line technology. The proposed planar structure of circulator allowed to achieve small dimensions of the device. Also, the insertion losses comparable to ones actually published for microstrip s
## Abstract A suspended stripline coupled‐line structure has been proposed, which allows for achieving equalization of inductive and capacitive coupling coefficients in a wide range of directional couplers' coupling __C__. Three different variants of the proposed structure have been considered, and
and experimentally studied. The results indicate that with a small spacing of 1 mm between the two PIFAs, good isolation of better than Ϫ20 dB for frequencies over the 2.4-and 5-GHz bands can be achieved. Good radiation characteristics for the proposed two integrated PIFAs have also been obtained. T
## Abstract In this article, a wideband bandpass performance of the short‐circuited quarter‐wavelength parallel‐coupled line excited by the slot‐line resonator (SLR) is proposed. The filter performance is characterized based on the even and odd‐mode analysis of the microstrip parallel‐coupled line.
