MEQ10-50AU
Passive GaAs MMIC 50GHz Equalizer
The MEQ10-50AU passive MMIC equalizer is an ideal solution for compensating for low pass filtering effects in RF/microwave and high speed digital systems. This equalizer provides positive slope from DC to 50 GHz with a DC attenuation value of 10dB and a 50-ohm match maintained over the entire operating range. GaAs MMIC technology provides consistent unit-to-unit performance in a small, low cost form factor. Contact the factory for connectorized versions of our other MEQ products.
