M/A-COM Technology Solutions Announces 7 New Products For

New Products Extend M/A-COM Tech's Broad Portfolio including Amplifiers, Active Splitters, Digital Attenuators, Phase shifters, and Switches

M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. (M/A-COM Tech), a leading supplier of high performance analog semiconductor solutions, introduced recently seven new products covering Networks and Aerospace and Defense applications.

CATV/Broadband:
The MAAM-010263 completes the family of default-on Broadband Active Splitters designed for multi-tuner set-top boxes, home gateways and customer premises equipment (CPE) applications. Featuring a default-on loop-through path, the MAAM-010263 allows for access to the cable signal even when the CPE box is powered down.

The MAAM-010263 is a highly linear 6-way active splitter with low distortion and low noise figure. Designed for operation from 50 to 1100 MHz, the amplifier is packaged in a RoHS compliant 4mm 24- Lead PQFN. The 6-way Splitter is fabricated on M/A-COM Tech's established E/D pHEMT process which delivers , low distortion, low noise figure and highly repeatable performance .

CATV, Amplifier and Network Cable Splitters

by zazaa

Cable TV (CATV) splitter is used to divide an incoming signal so that it can be connected to various devices. CATV Splitters may vary in the number of stores they have and the variation may be of two stores to a maximum of sixteen points. Another integrated feature of most modern day dividers CATV signal to maintain its original quality without any loss of modulation. A splitter CATV CATV can be used to display one or more televisions.

The second type of device that splits the signals is a cable splitter amplifier.A splitter divides a signal amplifier without compromising signal quality. As you might guess from the name, incoming signals are amplified so that the signal loss can be minimized. These dividers help to improve the signal quality without costing a lot. It 's a cheap way to improve the quality of reception of a signal....
