Isolator

 

A device that permits microwave energy to pass in one direction while providing high isolation to reflected energy in the reverse direction. Isolators are used at the input of Communications-band microwave amplifiers to provide good reverse isolation and minimize VSWR. An isolator consists of a microwave circulator with one port (port 3) terminated in the system characteristic impedance.
