Broadband Microstrip Circulator
S Band, C Band, X Band, Ku Band, (2GHz-18GHz)
- The following products are broadband microstrip circulators designed with a compact form factor, covering the frequency range from the S-band to the Ku-band, with a maximum relative bandwidth of up to 100%.
Characteristics and Applications
The Broadband Microstrip Circulator series is characterized by its wider frequency bandwidth, covering two main frequency ranges: 2-6GHz and 6-18GHz. These circulators find extensive applications in fields such as communication, radar, and radio frequency spectrum analysis. Their wide bandwidth makes them an ideal choice for high-frequency signal transmission and isolation, and they are also suitable for use in RF test equipment, antenna systems, and satellite communication systems. Additionally, their high performance and reliability make them widely utilized in military and aerospace applications, including radar systems, navigation equipment, and communication systems. The introduction of this series of products is expected to bring broader application prospects and technological innovation to related industries.
Key Features & Advantages
- Broadband Operation:Covers octave or wider frequency ranges(e.g., 2–4 GHz, 6–18 GHz), simplifying system design.
- Compact Size & Light Weight:Planar microstrip design eliminates bulky metal cavities and waveguides, offering a smaller and lighter solution ideal for space - and weight- constrained applications.
- High Integration:Surface- mount or direct microstrip bonding enables easy integration with amplifiers, filters, and mixers on PCB, simplifying system assembly.
- Excellent High-Frequency Performance:Low insertion loss, high isolation, and high return loss ensure efficient signal transmission, effective reverse protection, and stable system performance.
- High Reliability & Stability:All- solid - state design with no moving parts ensures resistance to vibration and shock, delivering stable performance across a wide temperature range.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Suitable for standardization and mass production, relatively low manufacturing cost, offering high value.
Typical Applications
- Radar Systems: Used in Transmit/Receive (T/R) modules to enable a single antenna to be shared by the transmitter and receiver, isolating the high-power transmit signal from the sensitive receiver.
- Communication Systems: Base Stations: Separate transmit and receive signals in TDD systems. Satellite Communication: Transmit-receive switching in both satellite payloads and ground stations.
- Electronic Warfare (EW): Used for signal routing and channel switching in reconnaissance and jamming equipment.
- Test & Measurement: A key component in test equipment like Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) to protect the signal source.
- Microwave Radio: Used as diplexers in point-to-point communication links.
