Abstract :
This paper describes a monolithic fixed equalizer/slicer combination for high speed communication over low-cost light-weight RG-316 coaxial cable. Measured data shows the equalizer/slicer effective for cable lengths up to 30 feet with data rates of 1.3, 5, and 10 Gbps. The equalizer/detector block consumes 83 mW from a -5.2 V supply and is implemented in a 1 μm GaAs HBT technology
