Overview

The Motorola BHA-100* is an 1003 MHz high gain indoor distribution amplifier with a silicon power-doubled output stage.

It features variable gain and slope controls and is equipped with pad and equalizer facilities for greater flexibility when adjustment is required. It uses standard Motorola accessories, including JXP-*B pads, SFE-100-* forward equalizers, SRE-100-* return equalizers, and SCS-100-* cable simulators. The unit also uses a product-specific BHA-100/RA-Kit/L return amplifier. Input and output ports are standard 5/8-24 connectors.

The BHA-100* also features:

ƒForward and return-path capability

ƒOperational gain of 34 dB

„Line powering with 90–240 volts AC, 50–60 Hz auto ranging, switching power supply ƒ 20 dB directional coupler test points
