Anadigics Upgrades High-Bandwidth RF Amplifier for FTTH
Responding to an increasing demand for wider bandwidth data pipes for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and RF-over-Glass (RFoG) systems, Anadigics has upgraded its ACA2604 RF amplifier supporting operation to 1 GHz. The improved ACA2604 enables cable MSOs and telco service providers to increase data rates as well as the number of channels available to consumers.
The Anadigics ACA2604 RF amplifier is designed for use in fiber-to-coax equipment, such as optical network units for FTTH and RFoG systems incorporating radio frequency overlay, and fiber-to-the-building (FTTB) optical receivers for multiple dwelling units. The Anadigics amplifier, driven by the forward path photodiode in a fiber optic RF receiver, forms the optical to electrical interface and boosts overall output to the in-home coax wiring.
