摘要
A miniaturized circulator using barium ferrite films with a coplanar waveguide （CPW） structure is designed and optimized by high frequency electromagnetic field simulations based on finite element methods. The best circulation performance of the film circulator based on 10 pm thick barium ferrite thin films is obtained with an insertion loss of 0.13 dB and an isolation of 22.89 dB around 36.9 GHz. The microwave characteristics of film circulators with CPW and CPW with ground （CPWG） structures have been compared. The influences of the gap between the ground and the signal line, and the ferromagnetic resonance line width on the microwave properties are also studied.
