New CATV Power Doubler Amplifiers From NEC Deliver 1 GHz Bandwidth

Santa Clara, CA -- California Eastern Laboratories (CEL) announced the addition of two new GaAs power doublers to its growing family of NEC CATV hybrid amplifiers. Designed to deliver 1 GHz of frequency bandwidth, the new MC-7893 and MC-7894 enable cable operators to carry more bandwidth-consuming services on their networks.

Low distortion and an improved crash point make the MC-7893 and MC-7894 ideal for applications that require high output power. Plus, the distortion signature has been modified to improve performance when delivering digital channels. Both hybrids feature low return loss across the frequency band, and high linear gain: 22.5 dB (min.) for the MC-7893 and 24.5 dB (min.) for the MC-7894 at 1 GHz. They also feature stable gain performance over temperature, allowing for simple linear correction of any temperature-related effects.

Assembly and DC/RF testing of CATV hybrids is fully automated at NEC, ensuring products that are consistent and reliable, even in extreme environmental conditions. Housed in an industry-standard, RoHS compliant seven-pin package, the MC-7893 and MC-7894 are in stock and available now.
