mmW Equalizers Designed and Built for our Customer
|
One of our customers had a need for a mmW equalizer to help offset
a 7 dB negative slope across a 26.0 to 40.0 GHz band. We looked
far and wide to see if there were any available components out
there in the industry that we could buy as an off-the-shelf part,
or have someone develop for us.
We could not find any available parts. So we took on the task
ourselves to design a mmW equalizer with a 7 dB positive gain
slope. This is just another example of how we can break new ground
to come up with designs that are needed by our customers when they
are not otherwise available.
The equalizer was installed in the system, and the 7 dB negative
slope was flattened out. See before and after pictures below.
Another exciting success story!
