Dissipative Parameters in Ferrites and Insertion Losses in Stripline Y Circulators Below Resonance (Letters)

Extensive microwave loss measurements have been performed at the frequency of 1.3 GHz on below resonance stripline Y circulators loaded with aluminum doped YIG. Extemal x´´ have been measured on the same compositions. Also, dielectric loss measurements have been carried out. A relation is found which correlates insertion loss in stripline circulators with loss parameters x´´ and tan δ.
