Raditek’s waveguide circulators are specialized ferrite-based RF components that transfer microwave frequency between three or more ports in a single-direction rotation.
Raditek engineers these devices to withstand high RF/microwave power levels with minimal loss (usually < 0.3 dB). It also work as waveguide isolator, preventing reflected power from damaging other highly sensitive devices in the transmission line
Waveguide circulators are categorized as ferrite and non-ferrite depending on the materials used for their configuration. A Ferrite waveguide circulator is of two types 1) 4-port type based on the Michel Faraday rotation principle and 2) 3-port Y-junction type.
Raditek offers a huge catalog of various types and classes of waveguide circulators and also offers to customize an equally wide range of circulators in the power range from 1.12 GHz to 120 GHz.
Our Waveguide circulators fall into three categories: 1) Standard waveguide circulators for full and split bands 2) High-power resonance models for specialized radars, satellite communication and industrial heating applications 3) Miniature waveguide circulators: for topologically challenged circuits and 4) Cryogenic models for ultra-low range.
There are other compact waveguide circulators offered by Raditek that are based on the stripline principle with 3 ports.
Contact us with proper specifications to help us customize one for you or find the correct waveguide circulator from our ready stock.
