Pasternack’s New Line of Positive Slope Equalizers Covers Broadband Frequency Range of 500 MHz to 40 GHz

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

Pasternack, an Infinite Electronics brand and a leading provider of RF, microwave and millimeter wave products, has just introduced a new line of positive slope equalizers that 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. The broadband performance makes them ideal for a variety of applications involved in aerospace and defense, MILCOM and SATCOM, test and measurement, and wireless infrastructure.

Pasternack’s comprehensive selection of positive slope equalizers consists of 18 models that operate over octave frequency bands from 500 MHz to 40 GHz. These 50 Ohm designs have fixed equalizing values ranging from 2 to 8 dB, at the minimum frequency, and produce an attenuated response that increases linearly across the frequency band. They also feature low insertion loss levels of 1 dB to 3 dB and high CW input power handling up to +30 dBm (1 watt).  

“These modules help designers to compensate for losses in their signal response, resulting in optimized performance results.  Products of this caliber normally require 10-12 week lead-times, but we are able to offer 18 high-quality, high-performance equalizer models with no MOQ and same-day shipping,” said Tim Galla, Senior Product Line Manager.

These small, compact modules feature field replaceable RF connectors and can be drop mounted for circuit board applications. This product line comes complete with informative datasheets that include typical performance graphs.
