Ferrite Microwave Technologies offers microwave circulators from 50 GHz to 50 MHz, in the UHF, L, S, C, X, Ku, K, and Ka frequency bands. Whether you require a circulator, isolator, duplexer, load, or almost any other high-power microwave device – the team at FMT manufactures a seemingly boundless number of components. Specific to circulators, we offer 3 Port and 4 Port designs, in waveguide and coaxial configurations. Depending on microwave frequency band, average power handling capabilities of FMT circulators range from 200 W to 2 MW. Similarly, we offer peak power handling capabilities upwards of 1 MW to 5 MW. Ferrite components exhibit superior performance, having very low insertion loss, with very high isolation.

Circulators by Microwave Frequency: UHF Band
For ultra high frequency (UHF) applications, Ferrite offers various component level solutions, as well as complete systems and microwave assemblies. The UHF frequency range spans from 300 to 3000 MHz. Common uses include TV & Broadcast, Microwave Ovens, Radio Astronomy, Mobile Phones, Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, High-Energy Physics Research (Accelerators), among others.
495 to 505 MHz
Circulators in the 495 to 505 MHz microwave frequency range are most often used in extremely high power, high-energy physics applications. FMT offers a multitude of 500 MHz components to support synchrotrons, light sources, particle accelerators, and other scientific research facilities to help facilitate their spectacular endeavors.
800 to 810 MHz
Ferrite Microwave Technologies solutions in the +/- 800 MHz microwave frequency range is backed by our longstanding history of supporting advanced research in the physical sciences. Our RF engineering and microwave R&D teams works directly with prestigious clients to deliver superior components, fit to their exact requirements.
896 to 929 MHz
As the only microwave company that produces 100% of its own internal waveguide, circulators, water loads, tuners, transitions, and other components that are employed in its own industrial systems, Ferrite Microwave Technologies has dual expertise in components and microwave systems for 896, 915, 922, and 929 MHz.
Circulators by Microwave Frequency: L Band
The L Band is a frequency range from 1 to 2 GHz. The “L” stands for “Long.” The common uses for this microwave frequency include: military telemetry, global positioning systems (GPS), air traffic control (ATC) radar systems, and scientific research. FMT offers several component solutions for L Band.

Circulators by Microwave Frequency: S Band
FMT circulators and isolators in the S Band operate in a frequency range from 2 to 4 GHz. We regularly produce high-power microwave components with center frequencies of 2998 and 2450 MHz (2.998 and 2.45 GHz). In addition, FMT flange interfaces cover all industry standards, including waveguide sizes WR 340 and WR 284. Applications for circulators in this microwave frequency band include: medical (oncology), radar (weather and surface ship), industrial processing, and devices for microwave & radio frequency communications.
2998 MHz Circulators
Ferrite Microwave Technologies remains at the forefront of providing critical technology to 2998 MHz applications. We are the world’s leading supplier of high power devices used in medical linear accelerators (CLINACs) for radiation oncology at the most commonly employed clinical frequencies of 2856 MHz, 2998 MHz, and 9300 MHz.
S Band Isolators
Ferrite’s complete line of S Band Isolators feature lower loss, better match, and better isolation when compared to others in the high-power microwave & RF industry. Our compact designs include 1 kW, 3 kW and 6 kW devices that provide superior protection for magnetrons. FMT isolators and circulators offer ultra-reliable performance.
2450 MHz Circulators
FMT has a specialized focus centered around this microwave frequency band. While most components are geared toward commercial and industrial processing applications, we support all needs at 2450 MHz, regardless of the setting. Uniquely, FMT was the first company to ever develop a 30 kW CW three port isolator at 2450 MHz.
Circulators by Microwave Frequency: C Band
FMT’s devices consistently demonstrate their ability to exceed electrical performance requirements while surviving the extreme environmental conditions, found in many of these applications. For development of radar platforms, trust in our expertise in microwave power management.

Four Port
Circulators by Microwave Frequency: X Band
The X Band operates from 8 to 12 GHz. It is named X for crosshair, as it was used in World War II for fire control radar. Ferrite Microwave Technologies X Band solutions are commonly used in SATCOM, defense radar, terrestrial broadband, space communications, among other radar applications.
Ku Band
Ku Band devices operate in a frequency range of 12 to 18 GHz. More often than not, this microwave frequency band is used for SATCOM. “Ku” stands for Kurtz Under. The word Kurtz is German for “short.”
K Band
K Band devices operate in a frequency range of 18 to 26.5 GHz. The “K” stands for Kurtz. Typically, the common uses for the K band include: radar, satellite communications, astronomical observations, and automotive radar.
