As performance needs for each channel in the CATV headend intensify, Skyworks continues to develop new 
Source: Skyworksinfrastructure amplifiers that meet increasingly demanding linearity, bandwidth and power requirements.
Skyworks has introduced its latest CATV solution, the ACA1240, a 1.2 GHz variable gain CCAP/edge QAM driver amplifier specifically designed for headend and remote PHY applications.
The ACA1240 features industry-leading return loss over attenuation range minimizing passband ripple, thus enabling optimal filter performance. In addition, this amplifier offers superior output power and gain performance, as well as unparalleled linearity to meet critical downstream RF specifications (DRFI) at a higher power level.
Key Benefits:
• Excellent input/output return loss minimizes passband ripple for superior filter performance
• High gain performance enables operation directly from the D AC, eliminating the need for an additional pre-amplifier or driver
• High linearity 5 dB above competitive performance meets critical downstream RF specification (DRFI) at a higher power level
Specifications:
• Operating frequency range: 50 to 1218 MHz
• Gain: 35 dB
• Attenuation range: 20 dB
• Input/output return loss: -19/-20 dB
