CATV Edge QAM MCM 1218MHz 36dB
Product Description
The RFAM3620 is an Integrated Edge QAM Amplifier
Module. The part employs GaAs pHEMT die, GaAs
MESFET die, a 20 dB range variable attenuator and a
power enable feature, has high output capability, and is
operated from 45 MHz to 1218 MHz. It provides excellent
linearity and superior return loss performance with low
noise and optimal reliability.

Composite Second Order (CSO) - The CSO parameter (both sum and difference products) is defined by ANSI/SCTE 6. Composite Triple Beat
(CTB) The CTB parameter is defined by ANSI/SCTE 6. Cross Modulation (XMOD) - Cross modulation (XMOD) is measured at baseband
(selective voltmeter method), referenced to 100% modulation of the carrier being tested. Carrier to Intermodulation Noise (CIN) - The CIN
parameter is defined by ANSI/SCTE 17 (Test procedure for carrier to noise).

Evaluation Board Assembly Drawing
Note:
The ground plane of the RFAM3620 module should be soldered onto a board equipped with as many thermal vias as possible. Underneath
this thermal via array a heat sink with thermal grease needs to be placed which is able to dissipate the complete module DC power. In any
case the module backside temperature should not exceed 100°C
