Chip Scale Package MMIC DC-40 GHz 9 dB Equalizer: MEQ9-40CSP1

The MEQ9-40CSP1 is a high-performance passive MMIC equalizer designed for advanced RF and high-speed digital applications.
Packaged in a compact 1.5 mm CSP1 chip-scale surface-mount form, it delivers positive slope equalization from DC to 40 GHz, featuring a DC attenuation of 9 dB and a return loss of 23 dB. Its small form factor enables extreme miniaturization of the SMT footprint while remaining compatible with standard solder reflow assembly processes, making it ideal for space- and weight-constrained designs. Engineered for systems where SWAP (size, weight, and power) efficiency is critical, the MEQ9-40CSP1 effectively compensates for frequency-dependent losses and enhances gain flatness across broadband signal chains. It is commonly used to mitigate high-frequency amplifier gain roll-off, equalize filter passbands, and improve the eye diagram in high-speed digital systems, supporting reliable and high-fidelity signal transmission. By integrating precise frequency compensation into a robust, easily mountable package, the MEQ9-40CSP1 reduces system complexity while maintaining performance and manufacturability. Its combination of broadband operation, superior return loss, and compact footprint makes it a versatile solution for engineers seeking to optimize RF signal integrity in compact, high-performance circuits. Whether in communications, radar, or test equipment, the MEQ9-40CSP1 delivers consistent, reliable equalization that helps maintain signal quality across challenging broadband environments.
