Analysis of a coupled slotline on a double-layered substratecontaining a magnetized ferrite

Nonreciprocity in the propagation characteristics of the even and odd modes in magnetized-ferrite-loaded double-layered coupled slotlines is studied. The analysis is based on Galerkin's method applied in the Fourier transform domain. Numerical results are presented for various values of structural parameters. As a result, it is found that the waveguide structures studied have sufficient nonreciprocity in propagation constants for isolators and four port circulators
