Ferrite Microwave Technologies manufactures high-power WR112 Waveguide X-Band Microwave Circulators, typically for radar applications. The microwave components manufactured by FMT offer unique capabilities in protection and detection. Our WR112 X-Band circulator and isolators provide high reliability in settings where failure cannot be tolerated.
X-Band WR112 Circulators: FMT Designs
FMT’s broad range of microwave circulators maintain extremely high isolation, with very low insertion loss. While our design library consists of over 1400 models to choose from, one product spotlight is our XC3-153. This high-power device is a four port differential phase shift circulator, operating as a duplexer, and equipped with WR112 waveguide flanges.

Applications for X-Band Microwave Components
Other applications for X-band include: communications via satellite (in space), in addition to land-based broadband systems, and most recently in medical LINACs. Decades ago, our first order was for a medical LINAC application. Since then, we’ve expanded out of the S-Band, and into the X- and C-Bands. Currently, we are the only company supplying above resonance X-Band isolators into the accelerator marketplace.
