BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY
The MB100 electronics package can be made backward compatible with the
FORWARD PATH
The operational gain of the MB100 is 42 dB, with 16 dB return loss. Output level control is achieved through the use of an interstage Bode equalizer, which compensates for coaxial cable attenuation changes due to temperature. Equalization may be controlled manually, with a thermal drive unit (TDU), or with a single pilot closed loop automatic drive unit, model
To further ensure system flexibility, installation ease and maintenance, the amplifier is engineered for compatibility with standard accessories, such as attenuators, equalizers, ADUs or QADUs, return amplifiers, automotive fuses and FTEC crowbar circuits.
For an optional third output, the MB100 utilizes splitters (model SP100) and directional couplers (model DC100/*). The SP100, DC100/8, DC100/10, and DC100/12 offer superior performance to 1 GHz.
The MB100 uses modular diplex filters, which can be changed for a different frequency split as required. The amplifier is available with
RETURN PATH
High gain return amplifier kits can be ordered which provide 20 dB minimum station gain. Return path equalizers from 0 to 12 dB can be customer selected. Optional features include thermal compensation and ingress control switching. Thermal compensation comes in the form of a
Also available is Ingress Control Switching (ICS) in 3 states. This pin diode attenuator circuit can lower levels by 6 dB or by 38 dB with a controlled slew rate for minimum bit errors. The LIFELINE®
