Passive GaAs MMIC 26.5 GHz Equalizer

MEQ10-26AS

LEAD-FREE / RoHS-COMPLIANT

1 Device Overview
1.1 General Description
The MEQ10-26AS passive MMIC equalizer is an ideal solution forcompensating for low pass filtering effects in RF/microwave andhigh speed digital systems. This equalizer provides positive slope
from DC to 26.5 GHz with a DC attenuation value of 10dB and a50-ohm match maintained over the entire operating range. GaAs
MMIC technology provides consistent unit-to-unit performance ina small, low cost form factor. Contact the factory forconnectorized versions of our other MEQ products.
