Distributed 3 Port Waveguide Circulator
Model 102483

(Patent No. 6,407,646,B1)

Product Overview
This high power S band circulator is based on EM Design's unique patented concept. It is especially attractive for isolating reflection from resonant loads such as accelerators or other similar devices. This circulator is set for the 2.998 GHz frequency but can be readily optimized for other frequencies, including 2.856 GHz.

Note that the power input, Port 1, and the 90º elbowed Port 3 have two variable insertion E field probes (at each port) for monitoring and/or control signals. These probes can be varied from the nominal 60 db coupling. Typically, in isolator applications, a good high power load (such as our Model R284-3.0) is attached to Port 3 to receive power reflected into Port 2.

This circulator is broadband yet has very good narrow band specifications. Our customers are extremely pleased  with the improved system performance achieved by this new design.
