Product Summary
Description
The Blonder Tongue BIDA-ARP is a completely self-contained broadband indoor distribution amplifier designed specifically
for CATV and SMATV signal distribution systems which use a cable drop as a signal source. Seventeen models are avail-
able with bandwidths ranging from 49-550 MHz to 49-1000 MHz, gains of either 30 dB or 43 dB, and push-pull or power
doubling hybrid technology.
All models have a return path bandwidth of 5-36 MHz and can be configured for either a passive (as shipped) or active
return. When field configured to an active return the BIDA-ARP Series have a full gain of 20 dB. All models can be atten-
uated over a range of 10 dB in the forward path and 18 dB in the return path. Gain and slope controls are located on the
front panel for easy set-up and ad just ment. Two -30 dB backmatched test points are provided to permit testing without
interruption of service.
In applications where input signals are too high or where greater cable equalization is necessary, the BIDA-ARP can be
reconfigured by using plug-in fixed attenuators (forward and return) and cable slope equalizers (forward) to meet particu-
lar requirements.
Push-pull and power doubling hybrid modules, hybrid IC modules enable the BIDA-ARP to operate at high output levels
while retaining low distortion characteristics.
The aluminum chassis is designed to provide excellent heat dissipation thus allowing operation at high ambient tempera-
tures with no degradation of performance or reliability.
