Abstract
A method for making a composite substrate circulator comprising disposing a plurality of sleeves about a plurality of rods, disposing the plurality of rods and the plurality of sleeves in a plurality of openings in a block to form an assembly, and dividing the assembly to form a plurality of plates. Each plate includes a portion of the plurality of sleeves and the plurality of rods. The magnetic saturation (4PiMs) values of the rods and sleeves are chosen to decrease radially (rod has the highest 4PiMs).

A method for making a composite substrate circulator component, comprising:
- forming a plurality of longitudinally spaced recesses in a plurality of rods or a plurality of sleeves;
- disposing the plurality of sleeves about the plurality of rods, respectively;
- disposing the plurality of rods and the plurality of sleeves in a plurality of openings in a block to form an assembly;
- and
- dividing the assembly to form a plurality of plates, each of the plurality of plates comprising:
- a portion of the plurality of sleeves to form at least one ring,
- a portion of the plurality of rods to form at least one disk surrounded by the at least one ring, and
- a portion of the block to form a matrix surrounding the at least one disk and the at least one ring, the matrix being a structure of a composite substrate circulator component that is operable in a circulator.
A method for making a composite substrate circulator component, comprising:
- obtaining a sleeve, a rod, and a block;
- forming a plurality of longitudinally spaced recesses in at least one of the rod or the sleeve;
- disposing the sleeve about the rod;
- disposing the rod and the sleeve in an opening in the block to form an assembly;
- and
- dividing the assembly at the longitudinally spaced recesses to form a plurality of plates, each plate having a portion of the sleeve and the rod.
A composite substrate circulator component prepared by a process comprising:
- forming a plurality of longitudinally spaced recesses in a plurality of rods or a plurality of sleeves;
- disposing the plurality of sleeves about the plurality of rods, respectively;
- disposing the plurality of rods and the plurality of sleeves in a plurality of openings in a block to form an assembly;
- and
- dividing the assembly to form a plurality of plates, each of the plurality of plates comprising:
- a portion of the plurality of sleeves to form at least one ring,
- a portion of the plurality of rods to form at least one disk surrounded by the at least one ring, and
- a portion of the block to form a matrix surrounding the at least one disk and the at least one ring, the matrix being a structure of a composite substrate circulator component that is operable in a circulator.
