We have included losses in the analysis of a 3N-port stripline/microst
rip circulator and have reformulated the circulation conditions previo
usly postulated for the lossless case. Our calculations have been comp
ared to three published data on circulator designs biased above ferrom
agnetic resonance (FMR). Scattering parameters at each port have been
calculated as a function of assumed material losses and coupling capac
itance of a multiport circulator.
