A Quick Note on Average vs. Peak Power
Ferrite Microwave Technologies circulator and isolator solutions place emphasis on the selection and bias point of ferrite material to minimize insertion loss and maximize isolation at the frequency, bandwidth, and power level of interest.
The design and power handling capability of a circulator is ultimately determined by the sum of the forward and reflected power, the latter being the result of any mismatch present at the output of the device. As an example, a device operating at 5,000W forward, with an output mismatch of 2:1 (11%), must be capable of handling 5,550W. The same device operating into a short or open circuit must be capable of handling 10,000W
