Broadband Circulators

Product Features

• Broadband Operation: Capable of operating stably over a very wide frequency range, covering multiple bands without needing to replace components.
• Low Insertion Loss: Ensures minimal signal loss during transmission to maintain high efficiency.
• High Isolation: Provides excellent isolation between ports, effectively preventing signal crosstalk and reflections to protect connected equipment.
• Excellent VSWR: Features a very low Voltage Standing Wave Ratio, ensuring good impedance matching and reducing signal reflections.
• High Power Handling: Capable of handling high-power signals, making it suitable for high-power transmitter systems.
• Compact and Lightweight: Most designs use coaxial or microstrip lines, resulting in a small size and light weight, making them easy to integrate into compact systems.
• Temperature Stability: Maintains stable performance over a wide range of temperatures.

Applications

• Radar Systems: Used for signal routing between the transmitter and receiver, allowing them to share a single antenna while protecting the receiver from high-power transmit signals.
• Electronic Warfare: Used for signal management and protecting sensitive electronic equipment.
• Communication Systems: Enables the separation of transmit and receive signals in full-duplex communication systems, such as in cellular base stations and satellite communications.
• Test and Measurement: Serves as a key component in laboratories and on production lines for signal isolation and routing.
• Phased Array Radar: Plays a critical role in the T/R (transmit/receive) modules of array antennas for switching signal paths.
• Medical Equipment: Applied in certain RF medical devices, such as MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) systems.
