abstract = {Stimulated by the recent implementation of a three-port
Hall-effect microwave circulator of Mahoney et al. (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.},
