 Circulators
and isolators are very handy (and necessary) devices for use when it is essential to keep RF
signal flow in one direction only. Think of them loosely as a steering diode array that directs
energy from one port to a specific other port (or ports). Circulators and isolators (an isolator
is basically a circulator with the third port terminated in the characteristic impedance) are
fundamentally 3-port devices with 120° between ports. Ferrites with special properties (known
only to the sworn circulator designer brotherhood) affect the directional control. Here is a
brief circulator application
note from MECA Electronics.
One important thing to keep in mind is that specified
values for isolation are only guaranteed at 50+j0 ohms, or whatever the characteristic impedance
of the attenuator model happens to be (50 and 75 ohms most common). The farther away from the
characteristic impedance the connected ports are, the farther from the spec the isolation value
will be.
