Popis: This letter presents the experimental demonstration of a film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) circulator at 2.5 GHz. The circulator is based on spatiotemporal modulation of the series resonant frequency of FBARs using varactors and exhibits a large isolation of 76 dB at 2.5 GHz. The FBAR chip (0.25 mm2) consists of three identical FBARs connected in wye configuration. FBAR’s quality factor $(Q)$ of 1250 and the piezoelectric coupling coefficient ${k_{t}}^{2}$ of 3% relax the modulation requirements, achieving nonreciprocity with small modulation to RF ratio better than 1:800 (3 MHz: 2.5 GHz).
