DLI The Global Leader In High Frequency Solutions dilabs.com Gain Equalizers Functional Applications: n n Equalizer is utilized as a compensation circuit to correct for a loss slope created by other elements within a circuit [such as in amplifier stages]. Used with SONET modules in conjunction with DC blocking capacitors adjacent to amplifiers. Benefits: n n n n Superior microwave performance Excellent repeatability Ease of assembly Custom designs possible Equivalent Schematic Representation Equalizer Typical Performance 0.25 0 -0.25 -0.5 Insertion Loss, S21 (dB) -0.75 -1 -1.25 -1.5 -1.75 -2 -2.25 AEQ2050 -2.5 AEQ2199 -2.75 AEQ2234 -3 AEQ3055 AEQ3042 -3.25 -3.5 -3.75 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 Frequency (GHz) 7607-11 022812 (R) Copyright CMP 2012 DLI The Global Leader In High Frequency Solutions dilabs.com Gain Equalizers Physical Characteristics L Part Number L W AEQ2050 AEQ2199 AEQ2234 AEQ3042 AEQ3055 30 2 28 2 32 2 40 2 40 2 18 2 16 2 16 2 20 2 20 2 W METALIZATION T (Ceramic Thickness Only) T Lp 51 91 71 71 51 81 6 1 17.5 1 6 1 15.4 1 Wp Lr 14 1 14 1 12 1 18 1 184 1 81 12 1 12 1 31 7.2 1 Attachment Material Epoxy Epoxy Epoxy Solder Solder Dimensions in mils R MOUNTING SURFACE Wp METALIZATION W L Lp Lr RESISTOR T Die Attachment Recommendations: 1) Equalizer width should be approximately as wide as 50 ohm line trace on PCB. 2) The gap in the microstrip line should be nominally equal to dimension Lr. EQUALIZER METALIZATION 3) Vacuum pick-up tool recommended for component handling. CERAMIC If pressure is to be applied during component placement, it should BOARD be done uniformly across the part. 4) Thin, unmounted circuit boards are prone to warpage during reflow. This can cause solder attach defects and cracking of components during handling or subsequent housing installation.
