Gain equalizers are passive microwave components that have an insertion loss characteristic that varies as a function of frequency. Its applications included:      
 

 

  • Negative Slopes Equalizers are used to compensate the gain slope in systems where large amounts of cabling may cause excessive loss at higher frequencies over the operating band.
  • Positive Slopes Equalizers are primarily used for compensating the gain variation in systems where long lengths of Waveguide may cause excessive loss at the lower frequencies.
  • Half Sine Equalizers are mostly used for compensating the gain variation present in wide band Traveling Wave Tubes (TWTs) or solid state amplifiers where the maximum gain is at or near mid-band.
  • Iso Equalizers Integrated with input and output isolators, these equalizers can be installed practically anywhere in a system while providing isolation to minimize any adverse effect, such as frequency pulling or mismatch distortion.
  • Fine Grain Equalizers provide fine grain options to predistort signal in the system so that the distoritng effect of the system/long line will corrected. Combines with Linear Slopes Equalizers or Half Sine Equalizers to allows system equalization and control over fine grain ripple.
  • Combines with Harmonic Phase Shifters will allows traveling wave tube (TWT) gain equalization, while providing harmonic injection capabilities for gain enhancement.
