Non-reciprocal Components Based on Switched Transmission Lines
Non-reciprocal components, such as isolators and circulators, are critical to wireless communication and radar applications. Traditionally, non-reciprocal components have been implemented using ferrite materials, which exhibit non-reciprocity under the influence of an external magnetic field. However, ferrite materials cannot be integrated into IC fabrication processes, and consequently are bulky and expensive. In the recent past, there has been strong interest in achieving non-reciprocity in a non-magnetic IC-compatible fashion using spatio-temporal modulation. In this paper, we present a general approach to non-reciprocity based on switched transmission lines. Switched transmission lines enable broadband, lossless and compact non-reciprocity, and a wide range of non-reciprocal functionalities, including non-reciprocal phase shifters, ultra-broadband gyrators and isolators, frequency-conversion isolators, and high-linearity/high-frequency/ultra-broadband circulators. We present a detailed theoretical analysis of the various non-idealities that impact insertion loss and provide design guidelines. The theory is validated by experimental results from discrete-component-based gyrators and isolators, and a 25GHz circulator fabricated in 45nm SOI CMOS technology.
