Circulator

Station > Define Equipment > Circulator

The Create Circulator dialog allows defining the properties of a circulator and linking it to a transmitter radio.

Frequency Low and High

Specify the lower and upper operating frequency of the circulator.

Forward and Backward Reference Frequency

Specify if the forward and backward reference frequency is fixed or tuned to the frequency of the transmitter.
  • Select the fixed check box to use the specified frequency value.
  • Unselect the fixed check box to use the transmitter operating frequency.

Forward and Backward Characteristics

Specify the forward and backward curves of the circulator by selecting the table button and importing the power and frequency delta values.

Note:
  • The forward curve is being used when a signal is travelling from the transmitter towards the antenna, while the backward curve is being used in the other direction from the antenna towards the transmitter.
  • The frequency definitions are given as offsets from the reference frequency.

Radio

From the radio drop-down-list, select a transmitter radio to link the circulator equipment to.
