Ferrite Microwave Technologies WR187 Waveguide C-Band Microwave Circulators are designed for high peak and high average power applications. Our circulator and isolator solutions place emphasis on the selection and bias point of the ferrite material to minimize insertion loss and maximize isolation at the frequency, bandwidth and power level of interest.
WR187 C-Band Circulators: Design Features
Our comprehensive line of C-Band, WR187 circulators and isolators include a wide array of configurations, design features, power levels, environmental specifications, and applications. Typically, our design features include:
- Configurations: “Y” or “T” junctions
- Cooling options: convection or liquid cooled
- Designs for: high peak power, high average power
- Qualified Units: AWACS, TPS-78, ASR-9, TRC-170, SMART-L, HAWK
- Used for: source protection with magnetrons, TWT’s, klystrons and solid state amplifiers
- Applications: Accelerators (scientific and medical), radar systems (isolators or duplexers), communications systems, and industrial processing.
