New GaAs MMIC Broadband CATV Amplifier from M/A-COM

M/A-COM Tech has today launched a new broadband amplifier designed for CATV applications. The MAAM-010373 is a GaAs MMIC amplifier that exhibits low distortion and high gain in a lead-free surface mount package. The amplifier employs a monolithic single stage design, featuring convenient 75Ohm input/output impedance which minimizes the number of external components required.

The MAAM-010373 is fabricated using a pHEMT process to realize low noise and low distortion. The process features full passivation for robust performance and reliability. Operating between the 50 MHz -1100 MHz frequency range, the amplifier exhibits a high gain of 22dB and low noise figure of 2.2 dB.

“Delivering 22dB of gain with 20dB output return loss, the MAAM-010373 is ideally suited for multitap drop amplifier applications” said Graham Board, Product Manager. “Customers are continuingly demanding more gain, improved linearity and reduced power dissipation. The MAAM-010373 delivers on all counts.

The table below outlines typical performance:
