MEQ6-60ABH
Passive GaAs MMIC DC-60 GHz 6dB Equalizer
The MEQ6-60ABH 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 4 dB positive slope equalization from DC to 60 GHz with a DC attenuation value of 6 dB 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.
