Abstract

A compensation method and apparatus for a roughly compensated RC attenuator using fixed resistors and fixed capacitors. Any difference of the high frequency attenuation ratio from the low frequency of DC attenuation ratio is detected and corrected by using multiplier for increasing or decreasing high frequency components at the output from such RC attenuator, thereby allowing digital or remote compensation of RC attenuator without using variable capacitors.
