Patent ID: 6987426

Claim:
A nonreciprocal circuit element comprising: an input terminal; an output terminal; a magnetic plate; a common electrode disposed on a first surface of the magnetic plate; and a first central conductor, a second central conductor, and a third central conductor each including a pair of divisions, the three central conductors extending from a circumference of the common electrode in three different directions, being bent along a circumference of the magnetic plate towards a second surface of the magnetic plate, and crossing one another on the second surface of the magnetic plate at a predetermined angle relative to one another, and the first and second central conductors being connected to the input and output terminals, wherein θ 1 >θ 2 , where θ 1 is an angle between the pair of divisions of the first central conductor and θ 2 is an angle between the pair of divisions of the second central conductor, the first central conductor being farther away from the magnetic plate than the second central conductor.
