Bob it may be the same one. It measures 9 X 9 1/4 inches and is fairly heavy. The output to input port loss is 20 dB at the ends of it's coverage and 40 dB at the tuned frequency. The 3 dB bandwidth is about 3 Mhz. Do you have tuning instructions? Joe At 03:17 PM 11/22/2004 -0800, you wrote:

[Repeater-Builder] Help with circulator specs

2004-11-21 Thread Joe Ciarcia
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

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

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. The
