    700 to 2500MHz Coaxial Circulator 5o.com

    5o1032320 is a Coaxial Circulator is a passive, non-reciprocal ferromagnetic device used in Radio Frequency (RF) and microwave systems to control the direction of signal flow. It typically has three ports and functions as a “one-way street” for RF energy, forcing signals to circulate in only one designated direction.

     The Fundamental Principle: Circulation

    In a standard 3-port coaxial circulator, signal power can only flow from one port to the next in a predetermined circular path:

    • Power entering Port 1 exits      at Port 2.

    • Power entering Port 2 exits      at Port 3.

    • Power entering Port 3 exits      at Port 1.

     Product Features:

    • Broad frequency coverage from 700 to 2500MHz

    • High isolation up to 23dB minimum

    • Excellent VSWR as low as 1.20

    • Low insertion loss maximum 0.6dB

    • High power handling 100W forward/reverse

    • Multiple connector options (N-type, SMA)

    • Compact size 32×32×18mm

    • Wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) 

    Application Areas:

    • Cellular base station power amplifier protection

    • Satellite communication systems

    • Military and aerospace radio systems

    • Public safety communication networks

    • Broadcast transmission systems

    • RF test and measurement equipment

    This behavior is known as non-reciprocity, meaning the path the signal takes depends on its direction of travel. This effect is achieved using a magnetized ferrite material at the core of the device, which interacts with the RF signals based on the Faraday Rotation effect.
