The MC-7866 is a GaAs hybrid integrated circuit designed to be used as the output device in CATV applications up to 860 MHz. This unit has a minimum gain of 21.5 dB at 860 MHz, and because it is a GaAs device, it has lower distortion and lower noise figure. These Power Doublers deliver these performance advantages with 10 to 20% less DC input power. Reliability is assured by NEC's stringent quality and process control procedures. Devices are assembled and tested using fully automated equipment to maximize the consistency in part to part performance.
