FMAT9036

Overview

The FMAT9036 is a negative slope equalizer manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for RF applications within the 12 GHz to 18 GHz frequency range. It provides a fixed equalizing value of 7 dB with a typical insertion loss of 0.65 dB. The component features SMA connectors and maintains a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.7:1. It operates reliably across a temperature range from -55°C to +95°C, ensuring stability in demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• Provides negative slope equalization to compensate for signal attenuation variations.

Applications

• RF system linearization
• Signal integrity maintenance in high-frequency circuits
