ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a circulator/isolator device that includes a housing having a substantially planar base portion integrally connected to a segmented flexible wall structure extending in a direction normal thereto. The substantially planar base portion and the segmented flexible wall structure forms an interior housing volume having a predetermined geometry. The segmented flexible wall structure includes a plurality of port apertures disposed therein. The plurality of port apertures are separated from each other and disposed at predetermined locations in the segmented flexible wall structure. A central stack is disposed within the interior housing volume at a predetermined position on the base portion. The central stack includes a substantially flat conductor having a plurality of port structures extending therefrom. Each of the plurality of port structures are disposed at predetermined positions at a perimeter portion of the substantially flat conductor. The predetermined positions substantially conform to the predetermined locations such that each of the plurality of port structures extend through the segmented flexible wall structure at a corresponding one of the plurality of port apertures. A cover member is disposed within the housing at one end thereof, opposite the base portion, such that an exterior major surface of the cover is accessible via an exterior of the device and an interior major surface of the cover is disposed adjacent the central stack. A retaining member is disposed around a perimeter of the segmented flexible wall structure at the one end. The retaining member is configured to apply a substantially uniform radial compressive force to the segmented flexible wall structure to retain the cover member there within. The cover member applies a registration force to the central stack assembly to maintain the central stack assembly at the predetermined position.
