FFE-8-**S/RP Feederline Equalizer
The Motorola FFE-8-**S/RP series of feederline
equalizers is designed to compensate for feeder cable
slope, and thus provide improved "window"
specifications. The latest version of Motorola’s FFE
product includes the option of adding attenuation to
the return path (5-40 MHz) that enables improved
signal-to-noise performance and tighter gain
variances. The equalizer circuit is contained in the
same type of housing as the SSP splitters, directional
couplers, and power inserters.
All Motorola FFE-8-**S/RP equalizers are available
in a variety of bandwidths and frequency splits. All
electronics are included in the faceplate so that
upgrades and replacements can be performed without
splicing in a new housing. All models, except the
FFE-HSG/87S/RP, are shipped with an 8 dB
FEATURES equalizer installed. The FFE-HSG/87S/RP is shipped
