provides a very wide RF input bandwidth, from 100MHz
up to 40GHz. This makes the device suitable for a wide
range of RF and microwave applications, such as pointto-point microwave links, instrumentation and power
control applications. Applications To achieve higher accuracy and lower output ripple, the
averaging bandwidth can be externally adjusted by a capacitor connected between the FLTR and OUT pins. n n n n n n Point-to-Point Microwave Links
