RF and Microwave Circulators and Isolators

Ferrite circulators are passive three-port devices in which an RF or microwave signal is transmitted from one port to the next port, but not to the third port. They are mainly used to protect amplifiers from reflected signals if there is a defect in the cable or antenna after the amplifier. Another usage is the separation of transmitted and received signals in systems which operate in the same frequency band for transmission and reception, e.g. RFID. The ports are matched inside the housing or on the microstip board to 50 Ohm. RF isolators have one port terminated with a power resistor.

JQL offers a complete spectrum of coaxial, drop-in, surface mount, microstrip, and waveguide ferrite circulators and isolators, from 100 MHz to 120 GHz, for all communications and radar bands: VHF, UHF, TETRA, GSM, ISM (868 MHz, 915 MHz, 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 24 GHz), UMTS, LTE, 5G, L-band, S-band, C-band, X-band, Ku-band, K-band, Ka-band, E-band, W-band.
