CATV Amplifier facilitates migration to deep fiber.

 TV Signal Amplifier ANADIGICS' New High-Power CATV Amplifier Facilitates MigrationTowards Deep Fiber Architecture ACA2420 Combines High Output Power and Low Distortion WARREN, N.J., May 27 -- ANADIGICS, Inc. (NASDAQ:ANAD), todaylaunched the ACA2420 power doubler line amplifier, a high outputpower device designed to ensure optimal video and data delivery indeep fiber HFC architectures and other cable TV deployments thatminimize the use of cascaded system amplifiers. "Cable operators are improving the customer experience with amigration to deep fiber node scenarios, whereby the number ofsubscribers on each node is reduced, thus increasing the availablebandwidth for high definition TV, interactive gaming, andvideo-on-demand," reports Ron Michels, Senior Vice President andGeneral Manager of ANADIGICS' Broadband Business. "The ACA2420combines high output power with low distortion to meet thestringent demands of next generation 1GHz fiber-deep nodes andsystem amplifiers." ANADIGICS' new power doubler line amplifier supports high outputpower levels (+58dBmV/ch.) up to 1 GHz, providing a higher qualitysignal over longer distances, compared to amplifiers with loweroutput power handling capabilities. Exceptional signal integrity isassured by the ACA2420's high crash point, which allows the deviceto maintain low carrier-to-intermodulation noise (CIN), compositetriple beat (CTB), and composite second order (CSO) distortion. Available in a 16-pin surface mount package, the ACA2420 consistsof two parallel amplifiers with low distortion and low noise figurethat are optimized for use in a balanced configuration. The deviceprovides 21.5dB of RF gain and a superior gain flatness of 0.2dB, operating from a single 24VDC power supply. ANADIGICS' new ACA2420 is available now at a price of $24.28 inquantities of 1,000 units.
