DA-500A

100 to 600 MHz DISTRIBUTION AMPLIFIER, VARIABLE GAIN

The DA-500A is a variable gain distribution and isolation amplifier designed for signal with frequency in the range of 100 to 600 MHz. The amplifier provides variable gain from +30 dB to -10 dB with a less than 1 dB gain slope at 30 dB gain. This Amplifier offers 60 dB of channel-to-channel isolation and 75 dB of reverse isolation at 500 MHz. There is one input signal driving eight outputs. The inputs and outputs are chassis grounded. The DA-500A operates on 100 to 240 VAC, or optionally on +12 to +36 VDC backup, and is offered in a stand-alone rack-mount 1U enclosure.
