Absorptive gain equalisers in a selection of attenuation slopes

23 June 2021 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

The Mini-Circuits EQY-XX-24+ series of absorptive gain equalisers are fabricated using a highly repetitive GaAs IPD MMIC process incorporating resistors, capacitors and inductors and having a negative insertion loss slope.

The EQY series has excellent return loss of around 20 dB typically and a wide frequency bandwidth from DC to 20 GHz. The wide frequency band of operation supports a wide range of applications including wireless, cellular, microwave communication systems, medical and optical applications. These versatile devices have excellent power handling capabilities, enabling designers to use them with a variety of amplifiers.

EQYs are available with nominal attenuation slopes of 0, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12 dB. This enables circuit designers to change the nominal insertion loss value without the need for a complete circuit redesign. The negative insertion loss slope is useful for compensating the negative gain slope of amplifiers in receivers and transmitters, to achieve flat gain versus frequency performance.

The EQY series is packaged in a tiny 2 x 2 mm 8-Lead MCLP package.
