ISOLATORS AND
CIRCULATORS -
APPLICATION IN EM
WAVE TRANSMISSION
FIELD THEORY
CIRCULATORS AND ISOLATORS
• Both microwave circulators and microwave isolators are nonreciprocal
transmission devices that use the property of Faraday rotation in the ferrite
material.
• To understand the operating principles of circulators and isolators, let us
describe the behavior of ferrites in the nonreciprocal phase shifter.
ISOLATOR
• An isolator is a nonreciprocal transmission device that is used to isolate one
component from reflections of other components in the transmission line.
• An ideal isolator completely absorbs the power for propagation in one direction and
provides lossless transmission in the opposite direction.
• Thus the isolator is usually called uniline.
ISOLATOR
• Isolators are generally used to improve the frequency stability of microwave generators, such as
klystrons and magnetrons, in which the reflection from the load affects the generating frequency.
• In such cases, the isolator placed between the generator and load prevents the reflected power
from the unmatched load from returning to the generator.
• As a result, the isolator maintains the frequency stability of the generator.
• Isolators can be made by inserting a ferrite rod along the axis of a rectangular
waveguide as shown in aboveFigure.
• The input resistive card is in the y-z plane, and the output resistive card is displaced 45° with respect to
the input card. The dc magnetic field, which is applied longitudinally to the ferrite rod, rotates the wave
plane of polarization by 45°.
• The degrees of rotation depend on the length and diameter of the rod and on the applied dc magnetic field.
• An input TE10 dominant mode is incident to the left end of the isolator. Since the TE10 mode wave is
perpendicular to the input resistive card,the wave passes through the ferrite rod without attenuation.
ISOLATOR
• The wave in the ferrite rod section is rotated clockwise by 45° and is normal to the output resistive
card. As a result of rotation, the wave arrives at the output end without attenuation at all.
• On the contrary, a reflected wave from the output end is similarlyrotated
• clockwise 45° by the ferrite rod. However, since the reflected wave is parallel to the input resistive
card, thewave is thereby absorbed by the input card.
• The typical performance of these isolators is about 1-dB insertion loss in forward transmission and
about 20- to 30-dB isolation in reverse attenuation.
CIRCULATOR
• It is a multi-port microwave passive device.
•It is a non-reciprocal device.
•The wave can travel from one part to the next immediate
port in one direction only’
•TYPES:
Three port Circulator
Four port Circulator
Micro strip Circulator
THREE PORT CIRCULATOR
● 3-Port circulator is formed by a 120 degree H-planes
waveguide. (or) Strip line Symmentrical y-junction
with a control ferrite post
● Depending on the polarization of incident wave and
the direction of ‘H the microwave signal travels from
one port to another.
FOUR PORT
CIRCULATOR
•Two magic – Tees and a non-reciprocal 180 degree phase
shifter.
•A combination of two 3 dB directional couplers with two
non-reciprocal phase shifter.
•A signal at port 2 will be split into two eqaual amplitude
and in-phase waves in the collinear arms ‘a’ and ‘d’ of
Magic Tee 2.
•Due to presence of the non-linear 180 degree phase shifter
, the waves appeared at ‘b’ and ‘c’ are out of phase.
•These waves add up and appear at port 3 as an output.
FOUR PORT CIRCULATOR
• Many types of microwave circulators are in use
today. However, their principles of operation remain
the same.
• A perfectly matched, lossless, and nonreciprocal
four-port circulator has an S matrix of the form
Using the properties of S parameters as described
previously, the S matrix in Eq.

Electromagnetic Waves
• If you have ever tuned in to listen to a radio ,a spoken headphone ,
turned on a light ,hand on X ray taken, felt the warmth of the sun on
your skin.
• You have experienced ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE.
• “Electromagnetic
waves are
waves
which can travel through the vacuum of outer space .
• Electromagnetic waves are formed when an electric field couples with
a magnetic field.
• The magnetic and electric fields of an electromagnetic waves are
perpendicular to each other and to the direction of waves.”
Production of ElectromagneticWaves
• When an electric charge vibrates, the
electric field around it changes creating a
changing magnetic field.
• The magnetic and electric fields create each
other again and again.
• An EM wave travels in all directions. The
figure only shows a wave traveling in one
direction.
• The electric and magnetic fields vibrate at
right angles to the direction the wave
travels so it is a transverse wave
Propertiesofelectromagnetic wave
1. All are electromagnetic waves are transverse
2. They do not required any medium to travel though .
3. They travel at speed of 3 multiple by 10 -8 in vacuum.
4. They can all be reflected and refracted.
5. They can all be emitted and absorb by matter.
ElectroSpectrum
“Frequencies is called the electromagnetic
spectrum.
”Differentpartsinteractswithmatterin differentway.
As wavelength decreases, frequency increases…
• The ones humans can see are called visible
light, a small part of the whole spectrum.
• Includesfollowingtypesofwaves: Radiowaves,
Microwaves,Infraredwaves,Visiblelight,Ultraviolet, X
rays,Gammarays
RADIO WAVES
• Radiowaveshavethelongest wavelengthsofallthe electromagnetic
waves.
• Lowfrequency.
• Radio waves are often used to transmit data and have been used for all sorts of
applications includingradio,satellites,radar, andcomputernetworks.
Inmedicines:
• Is used to produce images of soft tissues, fluid, fat and bone.
• Example : MRI and RFA.
MICRO WAVES
• Microwaves are useful in communication because they can
penetrate clouds, smoke, and light rain.
• Microwave also in radar that helps to predict the weather.

• Microwave also in radar that helps to predict the weather.
• Microwave ablation: used in treatment of liver
tumor
• Microwave diathermy: used in pain management
INFRARED WAVES
• Infrared waves are sometimes classified as
"near" infrared or "far" infrared
• Between microwaves and visible light are
infrared waves.
• Can be detected by heat and used in heat lamp.
• Higher energy then microwave and lower the visible
light.
• Used daily in remote controls, to read CD-ROMs

• Oncology
• Vascular disorders
• Respiratory disorders
• Skeletal
• neuromuscular diseases
• Surgery
• Tissue viability
Visiblelight
• This is the range of wavelengths from 390 to
700 nm which corresponds to the
frequencies 430-790 THz.
• The portion of the electromagnetic
spectrum that human eyes can detect.
Inmedicines:
• Visible light is also used in Scanning laser
ophthalmoscope.
• In Endoscopy/ Keyhole Surgery
ULTRA VIOLET WAVES
• Ultraviolet waves have the next shortest
wavelength after visible light.
• EM waves with wavelengths from about
400 billionths to 10 billionths of a meter.
• Used in tanning beds
and sterilizing
equipments.
Inmedicines:
• Have enough energy to enter skin cells
• Longer wavelengths – UVA
• Shorter wavelengths – UVB rays
• Both can cause skin cancer
XRays
• High wave energy
• Used in :
Medicines Industry Transportation
• To much exposure can damage the living tissue or even cause cancer
Inmedicines:
• X-rays play an important role in
dentistry and orthopedic investigation.
• They can penetrate soft tissue like skin and muscle.
• Are used to take X-ray pictures of bones in medicine.
GAMMA RAYS
• Gamma rays the highest energy electromagnetic

• The actually come from radioactive elements or
stars
• Inspection tools in industry
Inmedicines:
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a nuclear
medical imaging tool which used gamma rays.
• Example :
