A method of compensating for loss of a high-speed broadband signal may include receiving a high-speed broadband signal. The method may also include at least partially compensating for a low-frequency loss associated with a low-frequency component of the high-speed broadband signal. The compensation for the low-frequency loss may be based on a transfer function that may include a pole with a pole-frequency associated with the low-frequency component of the high-speed broadband signal.
