PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The ACA2407E is a highly linear, monolithic GaAs RF amplifer that has been developed to replace, in new designs, standard CATV hybrid amplifers. Offered in a convenient surface mount package, the MMIC consists of two pairs of parallel amplifers that are optimized for exceptionally low distortion and noise fgure. A hybrid equivalent that provides flat gain response and excellent input and output return loss over the 40 to 870 MHz CATV downstream band is formed when one ACA2407E is cascaded between two appropriate transmission line baluns.
