Amplitude and phase equalizer

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide an amplitude and phase equalizer for analog or digital signals, having a simplified circuit design in which the total number of active and passive devices is reduced.
It is a further object to provide an amplitude and phase equalizer having an optimum signal-to-noise ratio.
It is another object to provide an amplitude and phase equalizer having a constant time delay, that is, a phase characteristic linearly changing with frequency.
It is still a further object to provide an amplitude and phase equalizer which is immune to stray capacitances and extraneous noise pick-up.
It is another object to provide an amplitude and phase equalizer having simplified adjustment of passive components for high accuracy of equalization.
It is a further object to provide an amplitude and phase equalizer having the above-indicated features and suitable for use in single speed or multispeed magnetic recording/playback devices.
It is a further object of the invention to provide an amplitude and phase equalizer having the above-indicated features and reduced manufacturing cost.
