Multiple GaN-based amplifiers revealed by RFMD
The firm's new gallium nitride amplifiers are designed for cable applications
RF Micro Devices has unveiled a series of multiple GaN-based CATV amplifiers.
The new CATV amplifiers include the RFPD2940, which the firm claims is the best-in-class, high-power GaN-based CATV power-doubler amplifier. RFMD has also launched a new family of GaN-based push-pull CATV amplifiers, led by the RFPP2870 and RFCM3080.
RFPP2870
RFMD's RFPD2940 GaN-based CATV power-doubler amplifier delivers an output power of +63dBmV without compromising the critical linearity performance requirements of CATV applications.
The superior output power of the RFPD2940 enables CATV network operators to upgrade existing systems to wider bandwidths. This enables higher data throughput while also reducing operating expenses.
The RFPD2940 CATV power-doubler amplifier operates from 45MHz to 1000MHz, has a 23dB gain at 1000MHz and features an input and output return loss of -20dB. The device delivers better than -73dB CTB and CSO performance. It is housed in an industry-standard SOT-115J package and is available today for immediate sampling.
RFMD's RFPP2870 and RFCM3080 GaN-based push-pull amplifiers are ideally suited to drive GaN-based final stage CATV power-doubler amplifiers. The RFPP2870 and RFCM3080 feature 28dB gain at 1003MHz, have a typical input and output return loss of -20dB, and deliver distortion levels of -68dBc CTB and -75dBc CSO.
The RFPP2870 is housed in an industry-standard SOT-115 package, and the RFCM3080 is housed in a compact 11mm x 8.5mm multi-chip-module surface mount package.
RFMD is showcasing its new GaN-based CATV amplifiers at the SCTE Cable-TEC Expo in Orlando, Florida, between October 17th and 19th in booth #2324.
