What is the primary characteristic of an isolator used in microwave circuits?

Answer: It prevents reflections by absorbing reverse power


Entry page https://www.gigaparts.net/sweepstakes/

An isolator is a two-port device that transmits microwave or radio frequency power in one direction only.
The primary characteristic of an isolator used in microwave circuits is that it allows microwave signals to pass
in one direction with very little signal loss (low insertion loss), but it strongly attenuates or blocks signals
attempting to travel in the opposite direction (high isolation or reverse loss)

I wonder what prompted that question?Confused Are they trying to make the questions harder?
