Anadigics markets GaN line amplifier
The company's high output gallium nitride power doubler amplifier delivers high linearity, low distortion, and low bit error rate for CATV applications
Anadigics has introduced the ACA2428 GaN line amplifier MMIC.
The new GaN power doubler line amplifier uses Anadigics’ proprietary architectures to ensure distortion-free video and audio in 1 GHz CATV systems.

With high output power and low current consumption, the company’s GaN line amplifier helps to save energy to enable green CATV infrastructure solutions.
“CATV networks are increasingly operating in a fully loaded spectrum to support high-definition television, video on demand, and high data rate internet,” says Tim Laverick, vice president of infrastructure products at Anadigics.
“Anadigics’ new GaN line amplifier provides a best-in-class combination of output power, linearity, bit error rate, and noise figure to ensure the highest quality of video delivery in these network conditions. This level of performance is coupled with exceptional efficiency and world-class reliability and ruggedness, enabling advanced green solutions that minimise power consumption and costly truck rolls.”
Anadigics’ ACA2428 GaN line amplifier MMIC is optimised for 50 to 1,000 MHz frequency band applications by delivering +58 dBmV output power and 21 dB gain at 1 GHz. Available in a 16 lead SOIC, the line amplifier is powered through the centre tap of the output impedance transformer with a single +24 V supply. The ACA2428 is optimised for several CATV infrastructure applications, including output power doublers for system amplifiers and deep fibre nodes.
Anadigics will be exhibiting its products at booth #505 at the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2012, taking place between October 17th and 19th, in Orlando, Florida.
Samples of the ACA2428 are available now for qualified programs.
