Popis: To determine the effect of improved equalization on the performance of TD-2 radio relay systems, an experimental adjustable transversal equalizer has been developed. The equalizer is based on the echo principle as used in transversal filters, and operates in the 60- to 80-mc frequency band. Seven pairs of adjustable leading and lagging echo terms provide flexibility for simultaneous gain and delay equalization. Directional couplers are used for tapping and controlling the echo voltages. Field experiments have shown that system equalization can be improved appreciably by the use of such equalizers.
