Linear Power Amplifiers
The Linear Power Amplifier (LPA) is a high quality broadband RF amplifier used for achieving Prism
product-rated power for the Remote Unit Tx forward path RF. The PAs are pass-band specific, with the maximum
composite Tx power levels listed in Table 8 for Single-Card, Dual-Card, and HDM RF Modules and Table 9 on
page 13 for Legacy Dual-Bay 40W RF Modules.
The LPA is housed within the RF Module, and is not field servicea
ble.
