New GaN CATV surface mount power amplifier has a doubler module
RFMD says the RFCM2680 device, which employs its gallium nitride and gallium arsenide technologies, is the industry’s first surface mount GaN power doubler module aimed at CATV networks.
Employing a combination of GaN HEMT and GaAs pHEMT technologies, the device provides high output capability from 45-1003MHz with excellent distortion performance.
