Patent ID: 7746188

Claim:
A non-reciprocal component comprising: a first dielectric part positioned at a first level; a ferrite substrate located at the first level; a ground layer is located at a second level, below the ferrite substrate; and a metal line arrangement located on the first level, wherein the metal line arrangement comprises: first and second metal lines arranged in parallel to each other on the ferrite substrate, the first metal line providing a first port and the second metal line providing a second port, wherein the first and second metal lines are connected to each other in a portion located on the first dielectric part and adjacent to the ferrite substrate; a single third metal line coupled to the first and second metal lines at the portion located on the first dielectric part and adjacent to the ferrite substrate, the third metal line ending with a third port, wherein the ferrite substrate is magnetized in parallel to the metal lines; and first and second matching networks coupled to the first and second ports, respectively, the first and second matching networks being configured to force a wave to effectively pass the metal lines several times by multiple reflections.
