Abstract :
A complete theory for calculating the dielectric, conductor, and magnetic losses of Y-junction stripline and microstrip ferrite circulators in terms of three-port S-parameters is described. Calculations using this theory are presented and compared with existing data for varied circulator parameters over a frequency range of 1-100 GHz
