Abstract

In this paper, the modified matrix pencil (MMP) method is used in the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method to eliminate the late time instability of time domain responses when analyzing the novel microstrip circulator with a magnetized ferrite sphere. The frequency dependent scattering parameters: reflection, isolation and insertion parameters of the microstrip circulator calculated over a wide band of frequencies with this hybrid method are compared with that obtained by direct FDTD method which agree well with the experimental results.
