Gain Equalizers Series Description DLI’s Gain Equalizers are designed as a small, low cost solution to your gain slope challenges. These equalizer designs employ a monolithic construction with precision thin-film conductor and resistor films with proprietary high dielectric constant ceramics for superior RF performance and repeatability. Components are well suited for use with pick and place equipment. Available in tape and reel packaging for high volume applications. Applications • Broadband Microwave Modules; EW, ECM, ECCM • Equalizer is utilized as a compensation circuit to correct for a loss slope created by other elements within a circuit such as in amplifier stages Benefits • Low Excess Insertion Loss • Footprint interchangeable part series, gain slopes from 1 to 3.5 dB • Superior, repeatable microwave performance • Ease of assembly; terminations are compatible with solder SMT and conductive epoxy assembly Part Number • Package optimized for typical 50 Ω transmission line width • No ground connection required L W T Lp Wp G Nominal Slope 2.25 dB Epoxy Solderable AEQ2050 AEQ05510 30 ± 2 18 ± 2 5±1 9±1 14 ± 1 8±1 AEQ2199 AEQ05246 28 ± 2 16 ± 2 7±1 7±1 14 ± 1 12 ± 1 3.5 dB AEQ2234 AEQ06042 32 ± 2 16 ± 2 5±1 8±1 12 ± 1 12 ± 1 3.25 dB AEQ3042 AEQ3042 40 ± 2 20 ± 2 6±1 17.5 ± 1 17.5 ± 1 3±1 0.6 dB AEQ3055 AEQ3055 40 ± 2 20 ± 2 6±1 15.4 ± 1 18.4 ± 1 7.2 ± 1 1.5 dB AEQ05467 AEQ05467 28 ± 1 16 ± 1 7±1 7 min. 14 ± 1 10 1.0 dB AEQ05468 AEQ05468 28 ± 1 16 ± 1 7±1 7 min. 14 ± 1 10 1.5 dB AEQ05469 AEQ05469 28 ± 1 16 ± 1 7±1 7 min. 14 ± 1 10 2.0 dB AEQ05470 AEQ05470 28 ± 1 16 ± 1 7±1 7 min. 14 ± 1 10 2.5 dB AEQ05471 AEQ05471 28 ± 1 16 ± 1 7±1 7 min. 14 ± 1 10 3.0 dB AEQ05472 AEQ05472 28 ± 1 16 ± 1 7±1 7 min. 14 ± 1 10 3.5 dB All dimensions in mils.

If pressure is to be applied during component placement, it should be done uniformly across the part. 4) Thin, unmounted circuit boards are prone to warpage during reflow. This can cause solder attach defects and cracking of components during handling or subsequent housing installation. Custom Solutions Design Kits We realize that our standard offerings won’t meet all customer requirements. DLI offers custom solutions with quick turn time. Custom designs will be tailored to meet your system requirements by utilizing a design with one of our high K materials. Temperature performance requirement? We can design on one of DLI’s temperature stable materials. Please contact Applications Engineering for more information. Two design kits are available for quick fix or circuit tuning needs. Each kit has 5 pieces of the variant equalizer.
