Popis: This article presents a study of the impact of different external magnetic bias field (MBF) distributions on Y-junction microstrip ferrite circulator performance. By using magnetostatic, full-wave, and circuit commercial simulation tools for a circular ferrite disk, several permanent magnet (PM) configurations are investigated for unsaturated and nonuniform bias conditions. Eigenmode simulations are used to analyze the circulator bandwidth over a range of MBF intensities. We show in simulations and experiments that different bias conditions can result in an operating frequency range from 1.5 to 7GHz using the same 9.7-mm-diameter commercial ferrite disk resonator.
