VHF/UHF CATV Amplifiers

Designed for broadband applications requiring low–distortion amplification.

Specifically intended for CATV/MATV market requirements. These amplifiers

feature ion–implanted arsenic emitter transistors and an all gold metal system.

Frequency Range — 40 to 860 MHz

Power Gain — 17 dB Typ @ f = 40 MHz

Noise Figure — 6.5 dB Typ @ f = 500 MHz

120 dB

mV DIN45004B @ 860 MHz

• All Gold Metallization for Improved Reliability

• Superior Gain, Return Loss and DC Current Stability with Temperature
