Ferrite Microwave Technologies (FMT) has a vast portfolio of high power waveguide components for air traffic control (ATC) radar systems. FMT’s component product offerings in this market reach clients worldwide. Typically, these units are focused within the C, S, L, and UHF bands. We regularly develop microwave component solutions for our air traffic control partners that address very specific environmental, mechanical, and electrical performance requirements.
FMT Designs
FMT has a comprehenisve line of 3-port and 4-port circulators and isolators, as well as terminations and directional couplers, all of which are common waveguide components within the air traffic control radar marketplace.
In these settings, experience matters and reliability is paramount. Our focus is on providing the highest quality components, with leading edge performance. FMT components meet all required parameters for ATC applications.
Air Traffic Control Waveguide Components: Examples
Since Ferrite Microwave Technologies has thousands of microwave and RF devices to choose from, it makes sense for us to highlight a few in this specific marketplace. We’ve put together a small list of examples of our waveguide components for air traffic control radar platforms. Below is a list of some commonly manufactured ATC microwave devices:
| Part Number | Description | Frequency | Peak / Average Power |
|---|---|---|---|
| SC3-135 | WR 284 S Band Phase Shift Circulator | 2700-2900MHz | 25kW (max.) |
| SC3-543 | WR 284 S Band Junction Circulator | 2700-2900MHz | 24kW / 2.4kW |
| LC3-24 | WR 650 L Band Phase Shift Circulator | 1215-1370MHz | 60kW / 7.2kW |
| LC3-533 | WR 650 L Band Dual Junction Duplexer | 1215-1350MHz | 70kW / 7.0kW |
Other Microwave & RF Components
As a Microwave Techniques company, we have access to one of the largest product portfolios of high-power microwave and RF components. This includes our own legacy product line (FMT), in addition to components and subassemblies from Mega Industries (MEGA), Micro Communications (MCi), the FXR dummy load product line.
