Drop-in Circulators

Product Features

• Small and Compact: Designed for direct mounting into a circuit board or component cavity, resulting in a very small size and space savings.
• High Isolation: Provides a high level of port isolation even in a compact package, preventing signal interference.
• Low Insertion Loss: Ensures minimal energy loss of the signal during transmission for high efficiency.
• Excellent VSWR: Features good impedance matching characteristics, reducing signal reflections.
• High Power Handling: Capable of handling a considerable amount of power despite its small size.
• Easy Integration: Lacks external connectors, integrating directly into microstrip or chip circuits via pads or gold wire bonding.
• Cost-Effective: Suitable for large-scale mass production, with relatively low costs.

Applications

• Phased Array Radar: Plays a critical role in T/R (transmit/receive) modules for switching and isolating signal paths.
• Wireless Communication Systems: Used in miniaturized base stations, repeaters, and RF front-end modules for signal routing and protection.
• Aerospace and Defense: Applied in various airborne and military equipment where size, weight, and performance are critical.
• Portable Communication Devices: Enables signal isolation in handheld devices that require high integration and miniaturization.
• Satellite Communications: Used for signal routing and isolation in on-board satellite equipment.
• Test and Measurement Equipment: Serves as a key component in modular test systems.
• Wireless Medical Devices: Applied in medical RF equipment that requires high integration and stable performance。
