The MEQ4-70ACH from Marki Microwave is a Passive GaAs Gain Equalizer MMIC that operates from DC to 70 GHz. It has a positive gain slope with attenuation options of 4, 6.8, and 10 dB. This passive equalizer has an insertion loss of less than 1.8 dB and provides a return loss of 25 dB. It has been designed to compensate for low-pass filtering effects in RF/microwave and high-speed digital systems. The GaAs MMIC technology provides consistent unit-to-unit performance in a small, low-cost form factor.
This RoHS-compliant equalizer is available as a bare die that measures 1.25 x 1.10 mm and can operate at temperatures ranging from -55 to 100 °C. The passive equalizer is ideal for RF transceivers, high-speed data, telecom, cable loss compensation, amplifier compensation, and 5G applications. It has an EAR99 export classification.
