PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The ACA2407 is a highly linear, monolithic GaAs RF amplifier that has been developed to replace, in new designs, standard CATV hybrid amplifiers. Offered in a convenient surface mount package, the MMIC consists of two pairs of parallel amplifiers that are optimized for exceptionally low distortion and noise figure. A hybrid equivalent that provides flat gain response and excellent input and output return loss over the 40 to 1000 MHz CATV downstream band is formed when one ACA2407 is cascaded between two appropriate transmission line baluns.
