PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ACA2402E 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 and
noise figure. A hybrid equivalent that provides flat
gain response and excellent input and output return
loss over the 40 to 870 MHz CATV downstream
band is formed when one ACA2402E is cascaded
between two appropriate transmission line baluns.
