RF2317
LINEAR CATV AMPLIFIER
The RF2317 is a general purpose, low-cost high-linearity RF amplifier IC. The device
is manufactured on an advanced Gallium Arsenide Heterojunction Bipolar Transis-
tor (HBT) process, and has been designed for use as an easily cascadable 75
Ω
gain block. The gain flatness of better than ±0.5dB from 50MHz to 1000MHz, and
the high linearity, make this part ideal for cable TV applications. Other applications
include IF and RF amplification in wireless voice and data communication products
operating in frequency bands up to 3GHz. The device is self-contained with 75
Ω
input and output impedances and requires only two external DC biasing elements
to operate as specified.
