CA30/550
550MHz Push-Pull Distribution Amplifier
The Pico Macom CA30/550 is a high quality push-pull wall-mounted distri-
bution amplifier producing signals with extremely low-noise and harmonic
distortion. This amplifier is capable of 82 channel operation over the 54-
550MHz range, and makes an excellent distribution system amplifier in MDU,
CATV, and SMATV systems. Because of its extremely low-noise figure and low
distortion, the CA30/550 is ideally suited for use in larger networks where
amplifier cascading is required. In expanding bi-directional broadband systems,
Pico Macom's PIDA series bi-directional amplifiers should be used.
