Microwave Circulator
A Microwave Circulator is a non-reciprocal three- or four-port device that routes microwave signals from one port to the next in a sequential manner. It is widely used in radar systems, communication networks, and microwave test setups to isolate components from reflected signals, thereby protecting sensitive equipment and enhancing system performance.
Dolph Microwave introduces its range of Microwave Circulators, meticulously engineered to manage signal flow in a precise and efficient manner. These devices, essential in the microwave domain, are designed to facilitate the unidirectional flow of signals across three or more ports, ensuring signal integrity and protecting sensitive microwave components from unwanted reflections.
