D3C1822

RF Circulators And Isolators Overview

The D3C1822 is a DiTom Microwave RF circulator designed for the 17.3 GHz to 20 GHz frequency range. It features a three-port configuration with SMA-FEMALE connectors and supports an average forward power of 10 W. Key electrical parameters include 20 dB isolation, 0.5 dB insertion loss, and a VSWR of 1.25. The component operates within a temperature range of -20°C to +65°C and is housed in a module package measuring 0.5 in x 0.5 in x 0.7 in.

RF Circulators And Isolators Feature Summary

• Provides non-reciprocal signal routing for three-port microwave systems
• Maintains low insertion loss and high isolation across the Ku-band
• Supports standard SMA-FEMALE interface connections

RF Circulators And Isolators Applications

• Ku-band radar transceiver modules
• Microwave communication link isolators
• RF test and measurement instrumentation

RF Circulators And Isolators Procurement Notes

Verify specific connector gender configurations (Male/Male/Female) against the exact suffix variant required for your design. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation prior to integration. Ensure thermal management aligns with the specified operating temperature limits during system assembly.

RF Circulators And Isolators Selection Notes

Select this component when a three-port circulator is needed for frequencies between 17.3 GHz and 20 GHz. Consider the 10 W power handling capability and 0.5 dB insertion loss for efficiency requirements. Verify physical dimensions fit the available board space and that SMA-FEMALE interfaces match the system interconnect strategy.

RF Circulators And Isolators Part Context

This part belongs to the DiTom Microwave D3C1822 series of RF circulators. Variants such as D3C1822-1, D3C1822-2, and D3C1822-6 share core specifications but may differ in connector gender arrangements or packaging details. The series targets applications requiring reliable signal directionality in microwave frequency bands.

RF Circulators And Isolators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not explicitly confirmed in public data. Evaluate other DiTom models like D3I1822 only if an isolator function suffices instead of a circulator. Cross-reference mechanical dimensions and connector types carefully before substitution.
