The most common use of three-port circulators is as duplexers. Connecting a transmitter to Port 1, antenna to Port 2 and a receiver to Port 3 permits simultaneous transmission and reception of signals while protecting the transmitter from reflection due to antenna mismatch.

CONT

Dans le cadre des transmissions par fibre optique multiplexées en longueur d'onde, le routage des différents signaux dans un réseau reconfigurable fait appel à une fonction de commutation et à une fonction de filtrage en longueur d'onde. [...] Cette technique présente l'inconvénient de faire appel à un circulateur à 3 voies (composant coûteux et introduisant des pertes optiques supplémentaires).

Key term(s)
  • circulateur à trois voies
