摘要
A novel H-plane cross-shaped circulator based on magneto-photonic crystals is experimentally investigated.The band gap of the TE mode for the photonic crystals is calculated by the plane wave expansion method.The transmission characteristics of the circulator are simulated by the finite element method.We perform the experiments in the microwave regime to validate the numerical results.At the central frequency of 10.15 GHz,the measured isolation and insertion loss of the circulator reaches-30.2 and-3.93 d B,respectively.The bandwidth of the circulator is about 550 MHz.The optimal experimental value of isolation is higher than the numerical value.
