MARK-IV BROADBAND AMPLIFIERS User’s Manual Section A. Introduction This document is the MARK-IV Broadband Amplifiers User’s Manual, intended for the Radio Technical Personnel. The Mark-IV Broadband Amplifiers are highly-linear devices suitable for applications in the two-way radio and cellular UHF and 800 MHz bands. They are intended for use in low to mid power amplification and re-amplification systems, including land-mobile radio and cellular uni- and bi-directional signal booster systems.
MARK-IV BROADBAND AMPLIFIERS User’s Manual General Disclaimers This manual is intended to be used with the MARK-IV Equipment only. It is not to be used with any other equipment unless it is authorized by Canam Technology, Inc. Canam Technology, Inc provide this document “as is” without any warranty of any kind. This document may contain typographical errors and technical inaccuracies.
MARK-IV BROADBAND AMPLIFIERS User’s Manual Section B. GLOSSARY OF TERMS AC: Alternating Current. Broadband Amplifier: A device at a fixed location which automatically receives, amplifies, and retransmits the signals received from base, fixed, mobile, and portable stations, with no change in frequency or authorized bandwidth. All signals within the passband of the amplifier filter are amplified. DC: Direct Current. Rx: Receiver or Input Port. Tx: Transmitter or Output Port.
MARK-IV BROADBAND AMPLIFIERS User’s Manual Section C. THEORY OF OPERATION The MARK-IV BROADBAND AMPLIFIERS are self contained modules having the RF Input and Output ports via SMA-type coaxial connectors and DC plus Control signals via DSubminiature 9-pin connector. These amplifiers modules must be installed on appropriate heat-sinks to dissipate the heat they generate during normal operation (with or without input signal).
