D4C2021-1

RF Circulators And Isolators Overview

The D4C2021-1 is an active RF circulator manufactured by DiTom Microwave, designed for operation within the 20.00 GHz to 21.50 GHz frequency range. It features SMA-FEMALE connectors and a module package configuration. The component supports an average forward power of 10 W and a peak power of 30 W. Key electrical specifications include an isolation rating of 22 dB and an insertion loss of 1 dB.

RF Circulators And Isolators Feature Summary

• Provides directional signal routing in microwave systems
• Supports high peak power handling capabilities
• Utilizes standard SMA female interface connections

RF Circulators And Isolators Applications

• Microwave communication transceivers
• Radar system duplexing
• Test and measurement instrumentation

RF Circulators And Isolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector orientation and pin configuration against the official mechanical drawing before integration. Confirm that the thermal management requirements align with the 10 W average power rating. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified temperature limits to maintain the 22 dB isolation performance. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure compatibility with current design standards.

RF Circulators And Isolators Selection Notes

Select this model when a 20-21.5 GHz operating band is required. The 1 dB insertion loss indicates efficient signal transmission. The 22 dB isolation provides adequate signal separation for many applications. Consider the SMA-FEMALE interface for easy integration with standard coaxial cables. Evaluate the 30 W peak power limit against potential surge conditions in the target circuit.

RF Circulators And Isolators Part Context

This component belongs to the D4C series of circulators from DiTom Microwave. It shares the same core frequency and power characteristics as the base D4C2021 model but includes a specific suffix indicating its connector or packaging variant. It is distinct from other series like the D3C8020 which operates at higher frequencies.

RF Circulators And Isolators Replacement Considerations

The D4C2021 serves as the base model for this variant. Other suffixes such as -5 may indicate different connector configurations within the same electrical specification family. Verify mechanical dimensions if substituting with non-suffixed versions.
