MULTI-JUNCTION WAVEGUIDE CIRCULATOR USING DUAL CONTROL WIRES FOR MULTIPLE FERRITE ELEMENTS

摘要

In one embodiment, a system comprises: a first circulator module comprising a first plurality of circulators including a first circulator; a second circulator module comprising a second plurality of circulators including a second circulator, wherein an interconnection port connects the first and second circulator modules, each circulator in the first and second plurality of circulators comprises: an internal cavity; a plurality of ports extending from the internal cavity, wherein at least one port in the plurality of ports connects the circulator to another circulator; and at least one ferrite element disposed in the internal cavity and including at least one aperture; the system further comprising: a control wire, respective portions of the control wire being disposed in the at least one aperture of the at least one ferrite element of the first circulator and the at least one aperture of the at least one ferrite element of the second circulator.

1. A system, comprising:
a first circulator module comprising a first plurality of circulators including a first circulator; a second circulator module comprising a second plurality of circulators including a second circulator, wherein an interconnection port connects the first circulator module to the second circulator module, wherein each circulator in the first plurality of circulators and the second plurality of circulators comprises:
an internal cavity;a plurality of ports extending from the internal cavity, wherein at least one port in the plurality of ports connects the circulator to another circulator; andat least one ferrite element disposed in the internal cavity, the at least one ferrite element including at least one aperture; and the system further comprising:
a first control wire, wherein a first portion of the first control wire is disposed in the at least one aperture of the at least one ferrite element of the first circulator, wherein a second portion of the first control wire is disposed in the at least one aperture of the at least one ferrite element of the second circulator.
