AGC & MGC FUNCTION
The BDA has AGC function. Their amplifier has a directional coupler and a detector at the
output of the high power amplifier to monitor the output power. When a high signal is received
the automatic level control detects the amplitude and sends a feedback signal to a voltage
variable attenuator which attenuates the signal level so that the output power of the amplifier
does not exceed the preset limit. The LED on the amplifier illuminates when the power out the
amplifier is within the set limit (both when the AGC is On and when the AGC is OFF).
The switch on the RF amplifier enables the AGC function. If the AGC is disabled then the
amplifier gives maximum gain.
MGC: The RF gain of the BDA can be reduced by about 15 dB using the continuos trimmer on
the amplifier. The RF gain is at maximum when the trimmer is at counter-clockwise direction.
To reduce the gain, turn the trimmer clockwise using a screwdriver. Turning it halfway would
reduce the gain by 7.5 dB.
The AGC and MGC functions for the uplink path are reached by opening a small cover located
on the DBA side adjacent to the Mobile antenna port. For the downlink path the window is
located on the side near the Base antenna port.
