High-Power S-Band Junction Circulator (Short Papers)

The design of a high-power air-cooled microwave Y-junction circulator which is capable of operation at peak and average power levels of 800 kW and 800 W, respectively, is described. The unit is an H-plane waveguide circulator which is externally air cooled. The circulator design employs a full-height substituted YIG rod with a center metal pin together with boron nitride matching transformers. The circulator exhibits an insertion loss of less than 0.4 dB, isolation greater than 22 dB, and a VSWR <1.26:1 over a 400-MHz bandwidth centered at 3.3 GHz. At high-power levels, the device exhibits insertion loss of less than 0.9 dB, isolation greater than 20 dB, and VSWR <1.25:1 at an indicative frequency within the operating bandwidth.     

High-isolation polarization-independent optical circulator

A high-isolation polarization-independent optical circulator is reported. The circulator structure can sharply reduce isolation dependency on both the rotation error of a rotator and on extinction ratio of a polarizing beam splitter. As a result, the circulator has high isolation over a wide wavelength and temperature range. A 4-port circulator coupled with single-mode fibers was fabricated. Its measured insertion loss and isolation were <1.8 and >31.5 dB, respectively. Consequently, a loss ratio of over 29.7 dB has been realized. The isolation (which is free from reflections) was measured to be >45.1 dB. It is confirmed that the wavelength range for this kind of isolation over 40-dB is very wide. The measured range was wider than the measurement system limit of 90 nm     

Design and fabrication of a nonradiative dielectric waveguidecirculator

A technique is described for constructing a high-performance nonradiative dielectric waveguide (NRD guide) circulator for use at 50 GHz. A mode suppressor, which serves to reduce unwanted modes to a negligible level, was devised and used to improve circulator performance significantly. A half-wavelength step transformer was installed at each port of the circulator to increase the operational bandwidth. The insertion loss of this circulator is less than 0.3 dB, and the 20-dB isolation bandwidth is about 2.6 GHz. Characteristics of the NRD guide circulator are analyzed based on an equivalent circuit representation. This analysis considerably facilitates the design procedure of the circulator

Analysis and design of a new type NRD-guide E-plane Y-junction circulator

A new type of E-plane Y-junction circulator has been developed based on the nonradiative dielectric waveguide (NRD-guide) in Ka- band. First, the circulation principle has been analysed by the theory of polarization wave. The field components in the nonreciprocal Y-junction zone and the conclusion of 60° phase difference between clockwise and counterclockwise rotating polarization modes has been obtained. And then, the resonant frequency of the non-dc biased triangle ferrite sample has also been calculated. This kind of structure is benefit to enlarge the bandwidth of the Y-junction circulator. As an example, we had designed and fabricated a circulator in Ka-band. Its operating frequency is 35. 1GHz, the 1.5dB insertion loss and 20dB isolation bandwidth is about 1. 0GHz.
