Abstract
A nonreciprocal microwave transmission device includes a substrate, a transducer on a surface of the substrate and configured to reciprocally convert between electrical signals to acoustic waves, a first piezoelectric material configured to generates and transports acoustic waves from a signal applied to the transducer, and a thin film magnetic material configured to couple to acoustic waves through magnetoelastic coupling so as to have non-reciprocal magnetoelastic coupled acoustic wave transport. Transmission of acoustic waves through the thin film magnetic material is in a direction toward the transducer has a first magnitude and transmission of acoustic waves through the thin film magnetic material in a direction away from the transducer has a second magnitude, the first and second magnitude being significantly different.
