D4C2023-5

RF Circulators And Isolators Overview

The D4C2023-5 is a dual junction RF circulator manufactured by DiTom Microwave, designed for operation within the 20.00 GHz to 23.00 GHz frequency range. This component features four ports with a mixed connector configuration of three SMA-FEMALE and one SMA-MALE interface. It supports an average forward power handling capacity of 10 W while maintaining a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.2 and providing 22 dB of isolation. The insertion loss is specified at 0.4 dB. The unit is housed in a module package measuring 1 inch by 0.5 inches by 0.7 inches.

RF Circulators And Isolators Feature Summary

• Dual junction architecture supporting four-port signal routing
• Mixed connector interface combining SMA-FEMALE and SMA-MALE ports
• High isolation performance of 22 dB for effective signal directionality

RF Circulators And Isolators Applications

• Microwave communication systems requiring directional signal flow
• Test and measurement equipment operating in the K-band
• Radar system components needing high isolation between ports

RF Circulators And Isolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector configuration required for your design, as this model utilizes a mixed port arrangement including both female and male SMA connectors. Confirm that the 10 W average power rating aligns with your system's thermal and electrical constraints. Ensure compatibility with the 20-23 GHz operational band before integration into the final assembly.

RF Circulators And Isolators Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual junction circulator is necessary for precise signal routing in the 20-23 GHz spectrum. The mixed SMA connector layout requires careful cable selection to match the specific female and male port requirements. Consider the physical dimensions of 1x0.5x0.7 inches for board space allocation and ensure the 10 W power handling meets the application's peak load demands without exceeding thermal limits.

RF Circulators And Isolators Part Context

This part belongs to the D4C2023 series of RF circulators from DiTom Microwave. The series includes various variants such as D4C2023-1 through D4C2023-5, which may differ in connector types or internal configurations. The D4C2023-5 specifically denotes a dual junction design with mixed SMA interfaces, distinguishing it from other series members that might feature uniform connector types.

RF Circulators And Isolators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other models within the D4C2023 series, such as D4C2023-3 or D4C2023-4, provided they meet the specific connector and power requirements. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 20-23 GHz frequency range and 10 W power handling capability to ensure system compatibility.
