BTS Power Amplifier

The cost-effective BTS Power Amplifier (BPA) is designed to expand signal coverage through enhancing the downlink transmission power of BTS in the area where it is too expensive to build a new BTS or too difficult to choose the installation site for a repeater.

It is installed close to the BTS and amplifies the BTS signal via an ultra-linear amplifier unit, then transmits the amplified signal to the Tx antenna input port. A Tower Mount Amplifier (TMA) is usually installed under the Rx antenna as an auxiliary equipment to improve the balance between uplink and downlink.

Features

  • Effective coverage area of base station can be extended by 2~4 times;
  • Continuous tunable gain and output power with ALC function;
  • Flexible configuration of modules can accommodate to different type of BTS;
  • Adopting standard 19-inch cabinet makes installation easy beside the BTS;
  • Support working at 1~4 channels and each channel can be amplified independently;
  • Upon power interruption or abnormal output, bypass system will be automatically started to ensure continuous working of BTS;
  • RS-232 ports provide links to a notebook for local supervision and to the built-in wireless modem to communicate with the NMS (Network Management System) that can remotely supervise working status of BPA and download operational parameters to BPAs.

Application Range

  • Around the BTS, where the territory of subscribers is expanded but the call traffic is not obviously raised;
  • When multiple repeaters are required to fill gaps at the edge of BTS coverage area or to expand coverage for multiple rising traffic hotspots in suburb;
  • When BTS coverage needs to expand in an open level area where antenna isolation requirement for repeater can be hardly satisfied.
