RF Isolator (2-Port Unidirectional)

Device Topology & Electromagnetic Behavior

Constructed by internally terminating Port 3 of a 3-port circulator with a precision 50 Ω thin-film dump load. Forwards signals from Port 1 to Port 2 with negligible insertion loss (<0.3 dB), while any reflected energy coming backward into Port 2 is routed into the internal load and dissipated as heat.

ANALYTICAL FORMULATIONS & S-MATRIX MAPPING

S₂1 ≈ 1 ∠ 0°, S₁2 ≈ 0 (Zero Reverse Transmission)

• Unidirectional transfer characteristic protecting transmitter tubes and solid-state GaN HEMTs.

P_dump = P_incident · |Gamma_L|²

• All antenna reflection power is dissipated safely inside the 50 Ω termination.

Recommended Substrate Stackup

Ferrite junction bonded to copper heat-sink block with Rogers 6035HTC or aluminum plate.

Nikola RF Fabrication Directives

Direct solder/epoxy attachment of 50 Ω BeO or AlN high-power termination chip to chassis baseplate.
Strict return loss monitoring at output port under 3:1 VSWR antenna stress tests.
