Temperature and frequency equalizer

摘要

The present invention is an absorptive-type cable temperature and frequency equalizer that offsets changes in the gain of the other circuit components cables with increases in temperature and/or frequency. The equalizer comprises a temperature variable filter network having component values and a temperature coefficient of resistance that vary over temperature and frequency to produce a desired response. The temperature and frequency equalizer has at least one thick film thermistor connected in series with a quarter wavelength transmission line. The thermistor absorbs forward and reflected signals at lower frequencies.
