Abstract
A nonreciprocal circuit device with a plurality of central conductors each formed of a respective plurality of laminated strip conductors extending in the same direction. The central conductors overlap with each other at a specified angle. A ferrite is disposed where the central conductors overlap, and a DC magnetic field is applied to the overlapping portion. The strip conductors constituting two central conductors among the plurality of central conductors may be alternately laminated. Or, the strip conductors constituting one central conductor may sandwich those of another central conductor, to achieve strong electromagnetic coupling.
