Abstract—Microwave circulator is an important ferrite device device is to be operated over wider temperature range. which is widely used in wireless transceivers. This paper presents Magnetization temperate coefficient refers to the deviation of design and simulation of X-Band microstrip circulator. Major magnetization with respect to temperature. Based on these application of microstrip junction circulator presented here is as tradeoffs and properties of various ferrite materials as per table duplexer in RADAR. The circulator designed here is centered at 9.6 II, we selected yttrium iron garnet Y220 as the ferrite material. GHz with 800 MHz bandwidth. CST Microwave Studio Suite is Here resonance linewidth of Y220 is lowest and saturation used as simulation software. Here, the design equations given by magnetization is highest. Though temperature stability of Y220 Fay and Comstock are followed and prototype of X-band microstrip is slightly lesser than other materials, here low insertion loss is circulator is prepared. Yttrium iron garnet (YIG) is used as ferrite material. Isolation and return loss of more than 20 dB, and more important; so Y220 is chosen among available ferrites. insertion loss of less than 0.1 dB are achieved in simulation results. Dependence of circulator parameters on other ferrite properties is given in detail in [6].
