Technical Information

This appendix contains tilt, forward and reverse equalizer charts.

Linear Tilt Chart

Amplifier Output Linear Tilt Chart for 1.2 GHz

The following chart can be used to determine the operating level at a particular frequency considering the operating linear tilt.

Amplifier Output Linear Tilt Chart for 1 GHz

The following chart can be used to determine the operating level at a particular frequency considering the operating linear tilt.

If the amplifier’s 1 GHz output level is 49.0 dBmV with a linear operating tilt of 14.5 dB (from 50 to 1 GHz), the corresponding output level at 750 MHz would be 45.1 dBmV. This was found by taking the difference in tilt between 1 GHz and 750 MHz (14.5 – 10.6 = 3.9 dB). Then subtract the difference in tilt from the operating level (49.0 - 3.9 = 45.1 dBmV).

Forward Equalizer Chart
