Description
Summary:This paper reports the development of a linear amplitude equalizer for the linearity of the slope of the amplitude over 150% fractional bandwidth in Ku-band. The circuit model is featured by the resistor placed between each pair of a transmission-line and a stub. The design includes finding the values of resistors and stubs to have the optimal linear slope and return loss performances. The measured data show the acceptable performances of the slope variation and return loss over 2-18 GHz.
