Key Specifications
Description
The DHC8012 RF circulator operates across the 8.00–12.40 GHz frequency range. It provides 20 dB minimum isolation, 0.5 dB maximum insertion loss, and 1.25:1 minimum VSWR to maintain controlled RF signal transmission within the specified frequency band.
This 25 W average power RF circulator supports up to 500 W peak forward power, making it suitable for high power RF and 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 -30°C to +85°C and is designed to meet environmental conditions including >95% humidity, 20 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 1.0 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 = DHC8012-1.
