Wideband Microwave Photonic Circulator Using Two Asymmetric Partial-Height Triangle Ferrites
Broadband 5G communication requires the operation of nonreciprocal devices in the Ku band. A wideband photonic crystal circulator is implemented by introducing two partial-height triangular Ni-Zn ferrites into the Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> ceramic rod-arrays. The asymmetric...

| description | Broadband 5G communication requires the operation of nonreciprocal devices in the Ku band. A wideband photonic crystal circulator is implemented by introducing two partial-height triangular Ni-Zn ferrites into the Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> ceramic rod-arrays. The asymmetric sizes of the two equilateral triangles paired with self-matching effectively extend the bandwidth of the circulator eight times over that of the symmetric scheme. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the photonic crystal circulator can obtain a bandwidth of 1.00 GHz with an isolation 25.75 dB and an insertion loss 0.381 dB through optimized matched triangle size ratio, suitable for applications in future communication systems. |
