Microwave Gain Equalizers 50Ω EQY-SERIES DC to 6 GHz The Big Deal • Excellent Return Loss, 20dB typ. • Wide bandwidth, DC - 6 GHz • Small Size, 2 mm x 2 mm CASE STYLE: MC1631-1 Product Overview EQY series of absorptive Gain Equalizers are fabricated using highly repetitive GaAs IPD* MMIC process incorporating resistors, capacitors and inductors having negative insertion loss slope. EQYs are available with nominal attenuation slope of 1,2,3,4,5,6,8 & 10 dB. They are packaged in tiny 2 x 2 mm 8-Lead MCLPTM package. Key Features Feature Advantages Negative Insertion Loss Slope vs. Frequency Useful for compesating negative gain slope of amplifiers, receivers, transmitters to achieve flat gain versus frequency. Wide range of values 1,2,3,4,5,6,8 & 10 dB Enables circuit designer to change nominal insertion loss values without motherboard redesign making the EQY series ideal for select at test application. Wideband operation, DC to 6 GHz Supports a wide array of applications including wireless cellular, microwave communications, satellite, defense and aerospace, medical broadband and optic applications. Excellent Power Handling Capability 31/32 dBm Enables its use at the output of a variety of amplfiers Small Size and simple to use (2 mm x 2 mm) As a single chip solution, the EQY series occupies less board space than a lumped element approach, minimizes component count and ensures repeatable performance over wide frequency range. *GaAs IPD (Gallium Arsenide Integrated Passive Device) Notes A.
