Abstract
A multilayer metamaterial isolator and method of fabricating the same. A first layer or surface of a multilayer dielectric substrate includes a first leg of a first resonator loop. A second layer or surface of the multilayer dielectric substrate includes a second leg of the first resonator loop. A third leg of the first resonator loop extends through the multilayer dielectric substrate interconnecting the first and second legs of the first resonator loop.

A multilayer metamaterial isolator comprising:
- a multilayer dielectric substrate;
- a first layer or surface of the multilayer dielectric substrate including a first leg of a first resonator loop;
- a second layer or surface of the multilayer dielectric substrate including a second leg of the first resonator loop;

- and
- a third leg of the resonator loop extending through the dielectric substrate interconnecting the first and second legs of the resonator loop.
A metamaterial isolator comprising:
- a substrate defined by first and second spaced planes and a third transverse plane;
- and
- a resonator loop including one leg on the first plane of the substrate, a leg on the second plane, and a leg on the third plane interconnecting the first and second legs.
An isolator comprising:
- a first resonator loop including:
