Key Specifications
Description
The DHC6018 RF circulator operates across the 6.00–18.00 GHz frequency range. It provides 14 dB minimum isolation, 1.0 dB maximum insertion loss, and 1.5:1 minimum VSWR to maintain controlled RF signal transmission within the specified frequency band.
This 10 W average power RF circulator supports up to 20 W peak forward power, making it suitable for broadband microwave systems. The unit features an SMA connector interface with a passivated stainless steel connector body, gold plated copper connector pin, brass load body, and nickel plated CRS magnetic shunt, with an epoxy external coating.
The circulator operates within -20°C to +85°C and is designed to meet environmental conditions including >95% humidity, 50 grms vibration, 20 g shock, and altitude above 50 kft. The unit undergoes non-operational thermal cycle screening and operational thermal cycling (ATP) and has a maximum weight of 0.5 oz.
This single junction 3-port circulator is available in multiple connector configurations. Select the appropriate option based on the required connector gender for Port 1 / Port 2 / Port 3. Example: Male / Female / Female = DHC6018-1.
