A procedure based on the analytical model of a lumped- element, crossover circulator has been developed to maximize its operating bandwidth. The procedure considers the circulator as a network and employs the circulation impedance | the load associated with perfect circulation | as a metric to optimize the bandwidth. Using this procedure, we flnd that a maximum 194% bandwidth can be obtained for an ideal circulator for above-FMR operation. When the same procedure is applied using a simulation model for the 225{ 400MHz frequency range, we achieve 125% bandwidth. We have verifled this result from the measurement of a fabricated device; the measured data reveals a bandwidth of 129%.
