New types of MMIC circulators

Circulators can be used to separate transmit/receive (T/R) signals and for two-port tuners. Conventional ferrite devices are not applicable for MMICs. Two new types of electronic circulators are presented in this paper covering the frequency range from 1.8 GHz up to 80 GHz.<<ETX>>
