Description
The PIDA series of broadband distribution amplifiers
are high quality push-pull amplifiers producing signal
with extremely low distortion and high output. These
amplifiers are designed for RF distribution systems for
hospitals, schools, apartment complexes, hotels and
similar applications. It can also be used as a headend
launch amplifier in conjunction with the PHC-12U
headend combiner. The enclosure is made of
aluminum to assure reliable heat sinking and corrosion
resistance.
