PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ACA2402E is a highly linear, monolithic GaAs RF
amplifier that has been developed as an alternative
to 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 870 MHz CATV downstream
band is formed when one ACA2402E is cascaded
between two appropriate transmission line baluns.
