PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ACA2420 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. 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 ACA2420 is cascaded
between two appropriate transmission line baluns.
