1. Product profile
1.1 General description
The BGA3023 MMIC is a dual wideband amplifier with internal biasing. It is a Medium
Power Amplifier (MPA), specifically designed as an output stage for high linearity CATV
optical mini- and midi-nodes, operating over a frequency range of 40 MHz to 1200 MHz.
The MPA is housed in a lead free 8-pin HSO8 package.
1.2 Features and benefits
High gain output 1dB compression
point of 30 dBm
Frequency range of 40 MHz to 1200 MHz
75
