Patent ID: 8860528

Claim:
An equalizer for compensating transmission loss of electronic communication signals, comprising: a circuit board configured to transmit the electronic communication signals; and a compensation module mounted in and electrically connected to the circuit board; wherein the compensation module comprises first and second transmission lines, first to fourth resistors, first and second vias, and first to fourth micro-strips; the first and second transmission lines, the first to fourth resistors, and the first to fourth micro-strips are mounted on an outer surface of a signal layer of the circuit board, the first and second vias extend through the circuit board and are electrically connected to a ground layer of the circuit board; first terminals of the first and second resistors are electrically connected to the ground layer through the first via, first terminals of the third and fourth resistors are electrically connected to the ground layer through the second via; a second terminal of the first resistor is electrically connected to the first transmission line through the first micro-strip, and is further electrically connected to a second terminal of the second resistor through the second micro-strip; a second terminal of the third resistor is electrically connected to the second transmission line through the third micro-strip, and is further electrically connected to a second terminal of the fourth resistor through the fourth micro-strip.
