Abstract
This study presents for the first time the feasibility of a coplanar isolator using YIG material for applications in the Ku, K and Ka bands. The proposed structure is an asymmetric coplanar waveguide with a transverse array of unopened slots etched on a ground plane. Such structures are characterized by several cut-off frequencies on the transmission parameters. With a low dc magnetic field of 72 kAm−1 applied along with the slots, significant nonreciprocal effects greater than 20, 19 and 29 dB are obtained at 13.95, 23.39 and 39.61 GHz, respectively. The proposed structure can be used as a multiband isolator for microwave applications. The low biasing field of this multiband isolator and its compactness (88 mm2) are its main advantages, which makes this structure particularly suitable for integration.
