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. The
ACA0862B and ACA0862D are optimized for different output
powers, and can be used separately or cascaded to support a
variety of applications. A hybrid equivalent is formed when two
ACA0862 devices are cascaded between transmission line
baluns. For low-gain applications, a single ACA0862 can be used;
for higher-gain applications, more than two can be cascaded. See
the ACA0861 application note for more information.
