Motorola’s 1 GHz STARLINE® Mini-Bridger® series amplifier, model

MB100*, leads the industry in features and performance and is designed to

meet the needs of today's expanding broadband communication networks.

This two-way capable dual output amplifier offers high gain, high output

levels, ergonomics, superior distortion performance, multiple diplex filter

options, 16 dB return loss, and Bode equalization. The MB100 also allows

optional advanced features such as ingress control switching and status

monitoring. A third output is user-configurable via splitter or directional

coupler plug-in. Single output models are also available.

ENHANCED GALLIUM ARSENIDE

The MB100 uses Enhanced Gallium Arsenide (E-GaAs) hybrids. This

second generation technology provides superior distortion performance in CTB and CSO over the standard GaAs

technology. Compared to silicon and competing GaAs technology, E-GaAs distortion performance remains linear at

significantly higher output levels. This higher output level allows the customer to maximize system performance and

reduce system costs. We encourage our customers to contact their Motorola Account Representative to determine the

optimal levels for their systems.

HIGH GAIN

The MB100 also offers high gain, which allows the operator to hold existing amplifier locations during system upgrades

thereby reducing system costs such as maintenance, installation and powering.

The MB100 two-way

amplifier offers 1 GHz

bandwidth capability,

high gain, high output

level, ergonomics, and

superior distortion

performance with the

option to bench upgrade

to N-split (5-85/104-1003

MHz) in the future.

BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY

The MB100 electronics package can be made backward compatible with the 10-Amp MB*/* housing by installing the MB-

15A Kit or the MB-15A Kit II. These kits contain 50 mil gold plated platform assemblies. This makes it possible for the

amplifier to carry 15 Amperes continuous through the input or output ports. There is also a “low current” (10A) model

available that can be ordered as an electronics module (no housing included), which is backward compatible with the 10-

Amp MB housing, without the use of a kit.

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 ADU-* (analog pilot) or QADU-* (QAM pilot). Both the ADU and QADU boards are common to the

STARLINE family of amplifiers (with the exception of the SLE). ADUs utilize Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filters for

determining pilot frequency. This improves amplifier stability over temperature.

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 S-split filters for a 5-40 MHz return and a 52-1003 MHz forward band. K-splits (5-42 MHz/54-1003 MHz),

J-splits (5-55 MHz/70-1003 MHz), and A-splits (5-65 MHz/85-1003 MHz) are also available. The N-split (5-85 MHz/104-

1003 MHz) option is currently in development. These same filters can be used for all US-style Motorola RF distribution

amplifiers (models BLE, MB/MBE, BT).

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 plug-in JXP-TH*C, which stabilizes gain and match over temperature

extremes.

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® Mini-Bridger amplifier transponder (available

directly from AM Networks) is required to operate the Ingress Control Switch from a remote location.

Model Availability

To reduce customer costs and to accommodate customer specific needs, the STARLINE MB100 can be ordered in a

variety of different models. Please refer to the MB100 ordering information below for options.

Specification Notes:

1. Operating passband of station. Diplex filters are plugged into the electronic chassis.

2. Referenced to the average gain across the stated passband.

3. Minimum full gain at 1003 MHz includes loss of equalizer but Bode slope reserves have not been set. Return gain includes loss of SRE-*-4 return equalizer.

4. Operational gain includes loss of slope reserves as well as equalizer.

5. Amount of Bode slope control range from midpoint (typical setting is -4 dB at 1003 MHz @ 20°C). This control should not be used for gain reduction.

6. Amount of slope created and cable equivalence of fixed interstage equalizer. Interstage equalizer is a plug-in.

7. Noise Figure is specified at the cable entry facility of the housing and includes the loss of 1 dB for the pre-stage equalizer. The return Noise Figure includes the station loss preceding the RF

hybrid.

8. Frequencies that relate the picture carriers or passband edges to the specified output levels and tilts.

9. Measured with CW carriers and spectrum analyzer over specified temperature range. References the worst-case channel. Specifications are compliant with the test methods as stated in NCTA

RECOMMENDED PRACTICES FOR MEASUREMENTS ON CABLE TELEVISION SYSTEMS.

10. Measured with wave analyzer and synchronous, 100% depth modulated channels. References the worst-case channels over specified temperature range. Specifications are compliant with the

test methods as stated in NCTA RECOMMENDED PRACTICES FOR MEASUREMENTS ON CABLE TELEVISION SYSTEMS.

11. Composite Second Order distortion refers only to those beat clusters that fall +0.75 MHz and +1.25 MHz above the subject picture carrier. CSO beat clusters that have a -0.75 MHz and -1.25

MHz relationship to the subject picture carrier are not included in this specification.

12. Test points should be used with GFAL adaptor.

13. Match measurement at the station input and output, cable-entry facilities, at the specified passbands for operational gain.

14. Measured with the stated AC Bypass Current.

15. Measured at the power connector.

16. Current draw at +24.0 VDC.

17. AC current is stated in RMS continuous. A 10-amp compatible electronics package is also available for installing into older 10-amp housings during upgrades.

18. Group Delay is specified for standard NTSC video, where delay is the delta from picture carrier to 3.58 MHz color subcarrier. Reverse delay is in a 1.5 MHz bandwidth.

19. Distortion numbers are worst case over temperature in a cascade.

20. The compressed data loading is QAM carriers and are –6 dB relative to the analog CW carriers.

21. CTB (Composite Triple Beat). At the specified channel loading, Enhanced Gallium Arsenide performance varies on a two point three-for-one (2.3:1) basis with amplifier output level.
