Abstract: An array antenna. In some embodiments, the array antenna includes a base plate having a surface including a plurality of grooves, a plurality of circulator carriers on the base plate, a plurality of cover strips on the circulator carriers, a plurality of circulators, and a plurality of threaded fasteners. The circulator carriers and the cover strips may be secured to the base plate by the threaded fasteners. Each of the circulators may be coplanar with the base plate. Materials in the array antenna may be selected to avoid galvanic corrosion.

Abstract: A circulator is provided, comprising, first second and third conductors forming three equally spaced junctions and a permanent magnet configured to apply a shaped bias magnetic field to a ferrite resonator in operable communication with the first, second, and third conductors. The permanent magnet comprises a substantially planar monolithic structure having defined thereon at least first and second substantially concentric regions having first and second respective magnetic field strength levels, wherein the second magnetic field strength level is lower than the first magnetic field strength level. The first and second magnetic field strength levels are configured to cooperate to shape an external bias magnetic field of the permanent magnet to counteract at least a portion of a demagnetizing effect resulting from of an overall shape of the ferrite resonator, to achieve a substantially uniform internal magnetic bias within at least a portion of the ferrite resonator.
