Adjustable-slope gain-equalizer technology suitable for flattening frequency response in Q-band of 40 to 50 GHz.
New technology provides fully adjustable Q-band equalizers of
linear, parabolic and ripple-removal types and allows for fixed as well as field adjustable attenuation control.
Gain Equalizer - Parabolic Slope - Fixed
Gain equalizers support various types of correction curves with minimum additional parasitic loss. Transmission line is robust, concerning environmental stress conditions as described by MIL-STD-202 standards.
These products have solid design and stability. They offer broad environmental capability with unmatched, industry-leading, tunability.
Compensate for gain variations associated with:
- TWT and solid-state amplifiers
- Multiple component strings (systems)
- Pre-leveling loops with adjustment needs
Compensate for loss variations associated with:
- Long cable runs
- Delay lines
A legacy of design and manufacturing experience.
Growing demand for higher communication bandwidths has led to considerable development of systems operating at millimeter-wave frequencies.
Use cases:
- Compensate from frequency gain roll-off in antennas, cables or wideband amplifiers
- Correct uneven gain from amplifiers or filters in EW and SIGINT systems
- Pre-compensate for gain variations across the transmit band in transmit chains
- Maintain flat group delay and amplitude response in
Radar systems - Long cable runs can distort broadband signals and reduce
performance (cockpit to antenna and antennas to EW and
Radar systems - No companies providing the high level of performance nor the ability to test to classified frequencies
