The Circuit uses a GVA-81+ from
Mini-Circuits as a driver, operated directly at the +24V
(+28 V) Supply via two 100 Ω, 3 W Resistors. The output of this driver is ac-coupled to the input of the CATV Amplifier BGD-804 from
NXP. The capacitors are not critical. We use 4.7 µF, 1206, for ac-coupling of the stages.
The coil for biasing the GVA-81+ is a BLM31AJ601SN1L (Murata), obtained from
Farnell.
In case you need more Gain, you mayst exchange the GVA-81+ with a GALI-74+ or anything else. (Check Bias Resistors !)

As the circuit is that simple, you may have a look at a picture of the PCB, as we don't have a schematic.
INPUT is on the right side, OUTPUT left.
The figure below shows, that compression starts at an input level of + 4 dBm. Data measured at f = 100 MHz. Supply : 28 V, 650 mA
