Positive-slope equalizers cover 500 MHz to 40 GHz range
A new line of positive slope equalizers exhibit a fixed attenuation response that increases linearly over broadband frequencies. These equalizers are ideal in compensating for gain variation and optimizing performance in systems where excessive losses may occur at the low end of the frequency band. This broadband performance makes them ideal for a variety of […]
