Negative-slope equalizers offset loss on long cable runs
Pasternack has just introduced an innovative series of in-stock, negative-slope equalizers for broadband applications, including electronic warfare, electronic countermeasures, microwave radio and more.
The new negative-slope equalizers feature impressive performance with high reliability, low VSWR and excellent linearity. They provide low insertion loss ranging from 0.5 dB to 1.2 dB and wide coverage over octave bandwidths from 1 GHz to 26.5 GHz.
These negative-slope equalizers are engineered for resilience with rugged, military-grade, compact coaxial package designs and operating temperatures ranging from 0 degrees to +90 degrees Celsius.
A maximum input power handling of 150 mW allows users to securely transmit greater amounts of power without worrying about overloading and damaging antenna ports.
“Our new series of negative-slope equalizers 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.
Pasternack has also introduced an innovative series of in-stock, waveguide horn antennas that can be used in a wide variety of wireless applications. The line of waveguide horn antennas provide wide frequency coverage from 1.7 GHz to 40 GHz and with a low VSWR of less than 1.3. They demonstrate highly efficient radio-frequency power transmission.
These waveguide horn antennas feature beam width options from 11 to 55.2 as well as high gain from 10 to 20 dBi for transmitting greater power to receivers. Additional options and features include a wide variety of flange designations along with resilient designs made from high-grade aluminum with corrosion-resistant power coating.
“Our new series of waveguide horn antennas delivers high gain and precise directivity and can operate over a wide range of frequencies, making them ideal for a variety of applications involving communications, as reference antennas or for microwave links,” said Kevin Hietpas, Antenna Product Manager.
