TPA 24 Transmit Power Amplifier

The TPA 24 amplifies the transmit power to a fixed output of 24 dBm (250 mW). The TPA 24 is especially useful when long RF cable runs are required. The TPA 24 also simplifies antenna alignment by enabling the use of wider dispersion transmit antennas.

The TPA 24 comes in two models: TPA 24 LL and TPA 24 LH. The TPA 24 LL receives input power in the range of -10dBm to 0dBm. The TPA 24 LH receives an input power of 0dBm to +10dBm. Both models then amplify the input power to a fixed output level of 24dBm (250mW). The TPA 24 gets its DC power supply from the modem transmitter through the RF cable.

When used in compliance with ETSI regulations, the TPA 24 can be connected to cables and antennas resulting in a total transmitted power of 20dBm (100 mW) EIRP.
