Integrated Equalizer assemblies can consist of Isolators, Filters, Harmonic Phase Shifters and Couplers (along with multiple equalization functions) integrated into a single package.

APPLICATIONS: Integrated Equalizers can be used for many applications. The following are just a few of many possible combinations:

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.

TWT OPTIMIZER

This combination includes an adjustable equalizer and harmonic phase shifter, integrated into a single package. This allows traveling wave tube gain equalization, while providing harmonic injection capabilities for gain enhancement.

FINE GRAIN COMBINATION EQUALIZER

MICA can provide fine grain options on linear and half sine curve shapes. This combination allows system equalization and control over fine grain ripple.

BANDWIDTH: Available in bandwidths from less than 10% to multi-octave.

FREQUENCY RANGE: 1500 MHz to 26.5 GHz

ATTENUATION LEVEL: Available in 1.5dB to 40dB ranges.

HARMONIC PHASE SHIFT LEVELS: 0 to 200° and 0 to 300°

FIXED TUNED: Integrated Equalizers can be factory preset and sealed when field adjustment is not required.

FIELD ADJUSTABLE: Integrated Equalizer assemblies can be made amplitude, frequency, and harmonic phase adjustable which will allow you to compensate for changes at the system level.

CONNECTORS: MICA provides SMA Female as standard connectors. Other SMA series connectors can be provided on request. TNC and type "N" connectors are not recommended; however may be made available by special order.

WAVEGUIDE: MICA offers combination equalizers in all standard waveguide bands. (Specify flange type when ordering).

SIZE: Due to the complexity of these devices, design and size criteria can only be established after determination of all specifications. Package sizes can then be quoted and outline drawings provided for a detailed mechanical layout.
