Amplitude Equalization
Sending signals over coaxial cable greater than 50
meters in length will attenuate high frequency signal
components. Equalizers restore the attenuated com-
ponents of this signal. The circuit in Figure 4, is an op
amp equalizer.The RC networks peak the response of
the CLC405 at higher frequencies.
restores cable-attenuated frequencies. Graph 2 shows
how the equalizer actually restored a digital word
through 150 meters of coaxial cable.

Graph 3 shows the closed loop response of the op
amp equalizer with equations for the poles, zeros,
and gains.
