Designed for Deep Fiber Node CATV infrastructure applications, the module consists of two parallel amplifiers in cascade forming a power doubler optimized for low distortion, high output power, and very high TCP. A GaN output stage utilizing patent pending Proven-Power™ circuitry minimizes operating current making the module ideal for “GREEN” applications.
