Abstract

In this paper the exact analysis on the waveguide junction circulator and Faraday rotator are presented in detail. The correctness of analysis is demonstrated by its successful prediction about the performance of the devices. Many calculation results are presented by comparing with the experimental results. The approaches of expanding bandwidth of devices at W band are stated.
