870 GHz Two-way Active Power Splitter
This APS3611 active splitter from ANADIGICS accepts a broadband RF input from 50 MHz to 870 MHz and splits the signal to provide two broadband RF outputs with minimal degradation of quality. The single-package surface mount device amplifies the input using highly linear, low noise amplification stages, and couples the amplified signal to two separate output paths that each can drive either analog video, digital video or digital data tuners. The APS3611 offers a special frequency/gain profile, which compensates for inband signal attenuation caused by MOCA line filters.
Requiring a single voltage supply of +5 V, and operable down to +3.3 V, the active splitter is manufactured using ANADIGICS’ highly reliable GaAs MESFET process. The small surface mount QFN packaging makes this device ideal for use in today’s set-top boxes, televisions and video tuner cards requiring multiple-tuner solutions.
