SCATTERING PARAMETERS OF CIRCULATOR
SCATTERING PARAMETERS OF CIRCULATOR
AIM: To study the operation of ferrite circulator and hence measure
i. Insertion loss ii. Isolation iii. And to determining S parameters
EQUIPMENT: Microwave Source (RKO/GO), Isolator, Variable Attenuator, Frequency meter, Slotted line , Tunable probe with detector, detector mount with detector, VSWR meter, Circulator and Matched Terminations-2.
THEORY: The circulator is a multi port junction that permits transmission in certain ways. The wave incident at nth port can be coupled to (n+1)th port only.
