Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, when using this non-reciprocal circuit element, when a high-frequency current is input from the forward direction, since the high-frequency current passes through the above-mentioned first variable matching mechanism, there is a problem that the insertion loss increases anyway.

Abstract

The objective of the present invention is to acquire a non-reciprocal circuit element wherein the isolation frequency can be adjusted without degrading insertion loss. A ferrite (32) to which a direct-current magnetic field is applied by a permanent magnet is provided with a first center electrode (35) and a second center electrode (36) which are arranged so as to cross each other in an insulated state, wherein the first center electrode (35) is such that one end is connected to a port (P1) and the other end is connected to a port (P2), and the second center electrode (36) is such that one end is connected to the port (P2), and the other end is connected to a port (P3). Between the ports (P1) and (P2), in parallel to the first center electrode (35), a termination resistor (R) and a variable capacity capacitor (C11) are connected. By modifying the capacitance value of the capacitor (C11), the isolation frequency is adjusted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to non-reciprocal circuit components, in particular to non-reciprocal circuit components such as isolators and circulators used in microwave bands. Background technique [0002] In the past, non-reciprocal circuit components such as isolators and circulators have the characteristic of only transmitting signals in a predetermined specific direction and not transmitting signals in the reverse direction. Due to this characteristic, isolators are not used in transmission circuit sections of mobile communication devices such as car phones and mobile phones. [0003] As such a non-reciprocal circuit element, as described in Patent Document 1, in order to obtain sufficient isolation characteristics in an arbitrary frequency band, a first variable matching mechanism is connected in series to each of a plurality of matching capacitors, and the first variable matching mechanism is connected in series. A non-reciprocal circuit element in wh...
