Nonreciprocal microstrip lines based on magnetic nanowired substrates were fabricated for the characterization of microwave differential phase shifts. We provide a fully integrated solution for the nonreciprocal edge guided mode, which is achieved by asymmetrically loading the width of the microstrip with nanowires of different heights. An analytical model explaining the microwave nonreciprocal propagation, which takes into account the substrate permittivity and the microstrip memductance, is validated with the experiment.
