Description
The ACA0862 family of surface-mount monolithic GaAs RF Linear Amplifiers has been developed to replace, in new designs, the standard CATV Hybrid amplifiers currently in use. The ACA0862 can also replace the ACA0861 with the addition of tuning capacitors to the output (see Figure 3). The MMICs consist of two parallel amplifiers, each with 12 dB gain. The amplifiers are optimized for exceptionally low distortion and noise figure while providing flat gain and excellent input and output return loss.
