Anadigics extends GaAs hybrid line amplifier family
The firm's new modules are produced using the firm's gallium arsenide MESFET technology. They are claimed to offer excellent ruggedness to provide industry-leading reliability
Anadigics, an innovator in radio frequency (RF) solutions, has launched four new hybrid line amplifier power doubler modules, for CATV infrastructure networks.
The company's rugged hybrid line amplifier modules are optimised for demanding applications by delivering exceptional electrical performance and reliability. To maximise flexibility and ease of use, the hybrid line amplifier modules include passive components in a pin compatible SOT-115J package.
"We have expanded our hybrid line amplifier module product line with new products that provide superior ruggedness and RF performance," says Tim Laverick. "In addition to new modules for 870 MHz systems, we are introducing 1GHz hybrid modules with outstanding distortion characteristics. This level of performance combined with our proven track record of delivering industry-leading reliability provides manufacturers with a compelling solution for distortion-free video and audio, while minimizing field failures and costly truck rolls."
The ACA2786, ACA2788, ACA3748, and ACA3754 24 V line amplifier power doublers use the firm's MESFET technology to provide high output power, linearity, and reliability for 1 GHz and 870 MHz applications.
The new hybrid line amplifier modules are designed to provide the highest electro-static discharge (ESD) rating and withstand the largest ringwave transient for greater ruggedness.
Anadigics' hybrid line amplifier module family is offered in a wide range of gains and output power levels, while using the industry standard SOT-115J package to provide greater design flexibility across systems.
The low composite triple beat (CTB), composite second order (CSO), and cross modulation distortion exhibit optimal performance in a fully-loaded spectrum. With a positive slope cable equivalent, the controlled gain limits also minimise lot-to-lot variation, ensuring uniformity.
The devices have a high tolerance to ESD for enhanced ruggedness in outdoor applications and are manufactured using Anadigics' GaAs MESFET process for a high mean-time-to-failure.
