RFMW announces design and sales support for Smiths Interconnect CEX series, high frequency chip equalizers. The CEX series of chip equalizers optimize gain slope for applications up to 40 GHz. These SMT equalizers offer precise gain vs. frequency compensation with a slope compensation range of 1 to 4 dB and slope linearity of +/- 0.25 dB. Typical VSWR is 1.5:1. The small size and light weight make these devices ideal for Radar, Broadcast, T/R Modules and Instrumentation. Designed using robust thick and thin film process technology, they are RoHS compliant and available in tape and reel packaging for high volume pick and place manufacturing.
