Can't an isolator do both, provide a constant 50 Ohm load to the
transmitter, and offer 30 (single junction) to 60 (dual junction) of
isolation from signals travelling from the antenna to the transmitter
for mixing. If isolators were just to provide a constant load, why are
there dual junction isolators ?
