Waveguide circulators are components for manual assembly. General features: frequency band 2–90 GHz, operating temperature range -60° … +85° C. The devices are available in single (Y) and double (X) versions. Circulators are produced in accordance with the EIA (WR) standards.
Commercially available waveguide circulators have a set of advantages:
- large throughput capacity of the circulator,
- low insertion loss,
- fittings of the circulator body can carry structural load.
