New negative-slope equalisers offset excessive loss on long cable runs

Pasternack offers an innovative series of in-stock, negative-slope equalisers for broadband applications, including electronic defence, electronic countermeasures, microwave radio and more.

The company's new negative-slope equalisers offer exceptional performance with high reliability, low VSWR and outstanding linearity. They deliver low insertion loss ranging from 0.5dB to 1.2dB and wide coverage over octave bandwidths from 1GHz to 26.5GHz.

These devices are engineered for resilience with robust, defence-grade, compact coaxial package designs and operating temperatures varying from 0C to +90C.

A maximum input power handling of 150mW enables users to securely transmit larger amounts of power without fearing overloading and damaging antenna ports.

"Our new series of negative-slope equalisers alleviate performance issues in signal processing channels. They are particularly useful in compensating for an amplifier's broadband gain response that characteristically rolls off at the upper end of the frequency band," said Tim Galla, product line manager.
