Device Overview
General Description
The MEQ7-20ACH family of passive MMIC equalizer die are an ideal solution for compensating for low pass filtering effects in RF/microwave and high speed digital systems. They provide positive slope from DC to 20GHz with DC attenuation options between 3 and 11dB. The unique design offers superior return loss to competitors. GaAs MMIC technology provides consistent unit-to-unit performance in a small, low cost form factor.
