In the non-ideal scattering matrix representation of the circulator, the attenuation constant and phase constant α, β respectively are approximated as 1.

Correct Answer: False
In the non-ideal scattering matrix representation of the circulator, the attenuation constant and phase constant α, β respectively are approximated in terms of the reflection coefficient which represents the impedance mismatch in the network. Α is approximated as 1-Г2 and β is approximated as Г.
