Abstract
A nonreciprocal circuit device which can be connected to a balanced circuit without going through a balun, and a communication device which includes the nonreciprocal circuit device. An isolator generally includes a circuit board, a lower metal case, a center electrode assembly, an upper metal case, a permanent magnet, a resistor, and matching capacitors. The circuit board comprises an insulating substrate, such as a glass epoxy substrate or a ferrite substrate, on which are formed an unbalanced input terminal, balanced output terminals (i.e., differential output terminals), a grounding terminal, and a half-wave line which interconnects the balanced output terminals.
