Ferrite - Model WR112 - Waveguide X-Band Microwave Circulators

FMT’s broad range of microwave circulators maintain extremely high isolation, with very low insertion loss. While our design library consists of over 1400 models to choose from, one product spotlight is our XC3-153. This high-power device is a four port differential phase shift circulator, operating as a duplexer, and equipped with WR112 waveguide flanges.

As a product spotlight, Ferrite Microwave Technologies welcomes you to explore the specifications of FMT model: XC3-130. It is a WR112 Waveguide Circulator, operating in the X-Band. The following specifications apply:

Frequency Band: X-Band
Operating Frequency: 9290 + 25 MHz
Peak Power: 3 MW
Average Power: 3 kW

Other applications for X-band include: communications via satellite (in space), in addition to land-based broadband systems, and most recently in medical LINACs. Decades ago, our first order was for a medical LINAC application. Since then, we’ve expanded out of the S-Band, and into the X- and C-Bands. Currently, we are the only company supplying above resonance X-Band isolators into the accelerator marketplace.

Ferrite Microwave Technologies’ (FMT) legacy X-Band WR112 waveguide components include loads, circulators, duplexers, isolators, windows and more. Our partners at Mega Industries offer a range of loads & terminations via the FXR product line. The standard offering consists of unfinned, finned, liquid cooled, and super high power loads.
