MEQ9-40CSP1

Chip Scale Package MMIC DC-40 GHz 9 dB Equalizer

The MEQ9-40CSP1 is a passive MMIC equalizer in our compact 1.5mm CSP1 chip scale surface mount package. The MEQ9-40CSP1 provides a positive slope equalization from DC-40 GHz with a DC attenuation of 9 dB, and achieves a 23 dB return loss all in a compact form factor. The chip scale package allows for extreme miniaturization of the SMT footprint while maintaining standard solder reflow processes. Designed for RF systems that prioritize SWAP, this equalizer compensates for frequency-dependent losses and improves gain flatness across broadband signal chains. Common applications include compensating for high frequency amplifier gain roll off, equalizing filter passbands, and improving the eye diagram in high-speed digital systems.
