Blog: The anatomy of a microstrip isolator and circulator
Understanding the basics of microwave microstrip isolator and circulator technologies
Microstrip isolators and circulators are comprised of up to 9 individual material layers, each material selected for its electro-magnetic and thermo-mechanical properties. These layers are assembled by bonding the layers to form a sandwich construction using a variety of specialist epoxies and processes which are processed using precisely applied mechanical pressure during carefully controlled thermal profiles
