The 3A4NPE from Renaissance Electronics Corporation is an S-Band Space-Qualified Circulator that operates from 2.2 to 2.4 GHz. It can handle up to 30 W of forward and reverse power without multiplication and corona discharge effects and has a VSWR of less than 1.25:1. This medium power circulator optimizes match and reduces parasitic effects on VSWR. It has an insertion loss of less than 0.5 dB and provides isolation of 20 dB.
This circulator is available in a module that measures 1.08 x 1.06 x 0.75 inches with G-S-G construction on Ports 1 & 3 and an extended SMA on port 2. It improves systems performance while reducing overall weight of the system and is ideal for space up/down link applications.
