Analysis and design of three novel active quasi‐circulator modules are presented, which use the nonreciprocal properties of microwave unilateral power divider/combiner and amplifiers.These modules have many variations and can be used for very wide frequency range depending on the type of the unilateral amplifier used. Also, they can be used in MMICs as active circulators and also in other high‐frequency applications. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
