I must agree with Felipe.
Cyclic to me, remember something that repeats within a period.
I just recall one error that uses the term "cyclic" that is the well known
"CRC error".
So I must keep the translations as they are, and keep the word "circular" in
portuguese where "cyclic/cycle" is referred.
Thanks everyone.
Marcelo.

The term "circle" was translated from German graph theory, but the
common words in English graph theory are "cycle" and "cyclic".
But people speak of "circular unit reference". I never heard "cyclic
unit reference". If you search for "cyclic unit reference" in Google,
it will give results for "circular unit reference" instead.
For me something cyclic makes multiple turns.
