Abstract
An active quasi-circulator MMIC was designed and fabricated in a standard 0.18-μm CMOS technology. The quasicirculator combines common-source, common-gate, and common-drain configurations to improve the isolation between ports, and has an insertion loss less than 6 dB and an isolation better than 18 dB over 1.5-9.6 GHz. © 2008 IEEE.
