Anadigics introduces a high-performance cable distribution amplifier for advanced services and additional bandwidth in cable distribution networks. The ACA2401S7 is a 24 V amplifier with low distortion and a low noise figure. It also satisfies the European Cenelec Specification. The amplifier is designed for broadband cable distribution systems, including head-ends, distribution networks, fiber nodes, line expanders, and system amplifiers. The device consists of two pairs of parallel amplifiers, which provide flat gain and input and output return loss. A hybrid equivalent is created when one ACA2401S7 is cascaded between two transmission baluns. Additionally, it features 21.5 dB gain, 18 dB minimum return loss and a 4.5 dB maximum noise figure.
