(MEA), we present model studies of the performance of this device. Our calculations are based on the capacitive-coupling model of Viola and DiVincenzo (VD). Based on conductance data from a typical Hall-bar device obtained from a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a magnetic field, we numerically solve the coupled field-circuit equations to calculate the expected performance of the circulator, as determined by the $S$ parameters of the device when coupled to 50$\Omega$ ports, as a function of frequency and magnetic field. Above magnetic fields of 1.5T, for which a typical 2DEG enters the quantum Hall regime (corresponding to a Landau-level filling fraction $\nu$ of 20), the Hall angle $\theta_H=\tan^{-1}\sigma_{xy}/\sigma_{xx}$ always remains close to $90^\circ$, and the $S$ parameters are close to the analytic predictions of VD for $\theta_H=\pi/2$. As anticipated by VD, MEA find the device to have rather high (k$\Omega$) impedance, and thus to be extremely mismatched to $50\Omega$, requiring the use of impedance matching. We incorporate the lumped matching circuits of MEA in our modeling and confirm that they can produce excellent circulation, although confined to a very small bandwidth. We predict that this bandwidth is significantly improved by working at lower magnetic field when the Landau index is high, e.g. $\nu=20$, and the impedance mismatch is correspondingly less extreme. Our modeling also confirms the observation of MEA that parasitic port-to-port capacitance can produce very interesting countercirculation effects.}, cin = {PGI-2}, ddc = {530}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)PGI-2-20110106}, pnm = {144 - Controlling Collective States (POF3-144)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-144}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, eprint = {1609.09624}, howpublished = {arXiv:1609.09624}, archivePrefix = {arXiv}, SLACcitation = {$\%\%CITATION$ = $arXiv:1609.09624;\%\%$}, UT = {WOS:000407196900001}, doi = {10.1140/epjqt/s40507-017-0057-9}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/842890}, }
