Re: [Repeater-Builder] Help with circulator specs

2004-11-21 Thread Eric Lemmon
Joe, Actually, it's the opposite. The return loss will be maximum (highest numerically) at the operating frequency, meaning that the minimum energy is being reflected. It can be confusing to describe, because a proper tuning of a circulator involves reversing the input and output for making som

Eric thanks. If I looked at return loss, would the circulator operating frequency be determined by the lowest return loss? Joe At 03:01 PM 11/21/2004, you wrote: >Joe, > >I suspect that RJ Communications is no longer in business, so finding >tech data on that circulator may be difficult. > >Th

Joe, I suspect that RJ Communications is no longer in business, so finding tech data on that circulator may be difficult. The typical ferrite circulator doesn't dissipate much power itself; it's the load(s) attached to the reject port that determines its power rating. It's important that a circ

I have a circulator from RJ Communications Products Inc of Scottsdale, AZ. It's a model HC-152. It also has a logo on it marked IJ. It has a marking tape on it which indicates that the freq coverage is 140-180 MC. Can anyone confirm this and know what the power rating might be? Thanks, Joe
