This appendix introduces some of the accessories available for specific
installations, and describes how to install them.
A.1 TPA 24 Transmit Power Amplifier (Booster)
The TPA 24 Transmit Power Amplifier is used to amplify 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. In addition, the TPA 24 simplifies antenna alignment
by enabling the use of wider dispersion transmit antennas. The TPA 24 is
internally protected against lightning and voltage surge protection.
The TPA 24 comes in two models:
• The TPA 24 NL receives input power in the range of -10dBm to 0dBm.
• The TPA 24 NH receives an input power of 0dBm to +10dBm.
Both models amplify the input power to a fixed output level of 24dBm (250mW).
The TPA is powered by 12VDC carried from the power inserter by the RF cable.
Note: The TPA 24 is not available in the USA due to FCC regulations.
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.
