Broadband wireless and wireline communications component maker Anadigics Inc of Warren, NJ, USA has introduced a family of hybrid line amplifier modules.
Developed specifically as drop-in replacement solutions for system amplifiers, the new ACA27XX hybrid modules include passive components in a pin-compatible SOT-115J package and are optimized to minimize or eliminate tuning requirements.
"Our new hybrid line amplifier modules provide a compelling solution for a wide range of deployed system amplifiers, as well as infrastructure equipment in production," reckons James Martin, senior business development director of Infrastructure Products, adding that the ACA27XX infrastructure product line is designed specifically to ensure distortion-free video and audio.
Available in push-pull and power doubler configurations, the ACA27XX line amplifiers use the firm's proven gallium arsenide (GaAs)-based MESFET technology – yielding a high mean time to failure (MTTF) – to provide what is claimed to be high output power, excellent linearity and industry-leading reliability for 1003MHz and 874MHz applications. The hybrid line amplifiers offer what is claimed to be low composite triple-beat (CTB), composite second-order (CSO) and cross-modulation distortion characteristics for optimal performance in a fully loaded spectrum.
The new 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.
