Abstract :
Results of a study of nonlinearities and intermodulation characteristics of 3-port distributed circulators are presented. Based on a rigorous theoretical analysis of the third-order nonlinearity in ferrites, analytical results are derived for the field strength and the power level of the intermodulation signal. These explicit results are applicable to high-power distributed circulators operating in VHF, UHF, and microwave frequencies. Measured intermodulation characteristics of an experimental distributed VHF high-power circulator are also presented.
