Abstract

This work demonstrates the first non-reciprocal network based on switched low-loss acoustic delay lines. A 21 dB non-reciprocal contrast between insertion loss (IL=6.6 dB) and isolation (25.4 dB) has been achieved over a fractional bandwidth of 8.8% at a center frequency 155MHz, using a record low switching frequency of 877.22 kHz. The 4-port circulator is built upon a newly reported framework by the authors [1], but using two in-house fabricated low-loss, wide-band lithium niobate (LiNbO3) delay lines with single-phase unidirectional transducers (SPUDT) and commercial available switches. Such a system can potentially lead to future wide-band, low-loss chip-scale nonreciprocal RF systems with unprecedented programmability [1].
