Abstract
A 2-6-GHz push-pull GaAs monolithic active isolator has been designed and tested. This balanced MESFET isolator has better than 18-dB reverse isolation of 6 GHz and provides greater than 15-dB input and output return loss across the band. This small (actual chip area 12 mil*24 mil) isolator chip draws 20 mA of current from a single +5-V supply. The compact chip size makes it an ideal candidate for impedance matching for monolithic subsystems in which a ferrite isolator is not practical.<>
