Abstract

According to one embodiment, a nonreciprocal device includes a first component portion serving a circulator and a second component portion serving a circulator. The first component portion includes: a first carrier; a first Y junction-shaped line including three branch lines; first, second and third lines respectively connected to the three branch lines of the first Y junction-shaped line; and fourth and fifth lines. The second component portion includes: a second carrier plate provided on a back surface of the first carrier plate; a second Y junction-shaped line including three branch lines; sixth, seventh and eighth lines respectively connected to the three branch lines of the second Y junction-shaped line, one of the sixth, seventh and eighth lines being connected to one of the first, second and third lines, the other two of the sixth, seventh and eighth lines being respectively connected to the fourth and fifth lines.
