Abstract
In this paper, a microstripline-type linear amplitude equalizer is implemented to achieve the linearity of the slope of the amplitude over $6{\sim}18$ GHz with resistors inserted between their immediate pairs of a TX-line and a stub. The values of resistors and stubs are explored to have the optimal linear slope and return loss performance. Experiments reveal the slope of around 9 dB variation and return loss of less than 10 dB desired over $6{\sim}18$ GHz and validate the design methodology.
