Section 1 General Description
1-1 Introduction
This manual contains information and procedures for installation, operation, and maintenance of
Powerwave’s model SPA9329-35 channel booster power amplifier. The manual is organized
into six sections as follows:
Section 1. General Description
Section 2. Installation
Section 3. Operating Instructions
Section 4. Principles of Operation
Section 5. Maintenance
Section 6. Troubleshooting
1-2 General Description
The SPA9329-35 is a linear booster amplifier that operates in a frequency range from 1930
MHz to 1990 MHz and provides 100 watts (50 dBm) of output power with a maximum gain of 23
dB. The amplifier is modular in design, and is ideally suited for use in GSM and EDGE base stations.
The amplifier is shown in figures 1-1 through 1-5. Each amplifier module has a power input, one
RF input, and an RF output. Controls and indicators consist of a DC power switch with corresponding LED power indicator and an amplifier over-temperature LED indicator (see section 3).
Primary power input for the amplifier is +27 VDC. Cooling for the amplifier module is provided by
one fan mounted on the rear of the amplifier module, shown in figure 1-1, which provides airflow
over the two internal heat sinks.
1-3 Functional & Physical Specifications
Functional and physical specifications for the amplifier are listed in table 1-2.
1-4 Ordering Information
Table 1-1 lists the component numbers and descriptions to be used when ordering booster amplifiers or components.

Section 2 Installation
2-1 Introduction
This section contains unpacking, inspection, and installation instructions and recommendations
for the Powerwave model SPA9329-35 booster power amplifier. Carefully read all material in
this section prior to equipment unpacking or installation. Also read and review the operating procedures in section 3 prior to installing the equipment. It is important that the licensee perform
these tasks correctly and in good faith. If applicable, carefully read the appropriate parts of the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules to determine how they apply to your installation. DON'T TAKE CHANCES WITH YOUR LICENSE.
2-2 Electrical Service Recommendations
Powerwave Technologies recommends that proper AC line conditioning and surge suppression
be provided on the primary AC input to the +27 Vdc power source. All electrical service should be
installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code, any applicable state or local codes, and
good engineering practice. Special consideration should be given to lightning protection of all
systems in view of the vulnerability of most transmitter sites to lightning. Lightning arrestors are
recommended in the service entrance. Straight, short ground runs are recommended. The electrical service must be well grounded.
Each amplifier system should have its own circuit breaker, so a failure in one does not shut off
the whole installation. Circuit breakers should be thermal type, capable of handling the maximum
anticipated inrush current, in a load center with a master switch.
2-3 Unpacking & Inspection
This equipment has been operated, tested and calibrated at the factory. Carefully open the container(s) and remove the amplifier module(s). Retain all packing material that can be reassembled in the event that the unit must be returned to the factory.
CAUTION
Exercise care in handling equipment during inspection to prevent damage caused by
rough or careless handling.
Visually inspect the amplifier module for damage that may have occurred during shipment. Check
for evidence of water damage, bent or warped chassis, loose screws or nuts, or extraneous packing material in the connector. If the equipment is damaged, a claim should be filed with the carrier
once the extent of any damage is assessed. We cannot stress too strongly the importance of
IMMEDIATE careful inspection of the equipment and the subsequent IMMEDIATE filing of the
necessary claims against the carrier if necessary. If possible, inspect the equipment in the presence of the delivery person. If the equipment is damaged, the carrier is your first area of recourse. If the equipment is damaged and must be returned to the factory, write or phone for a return authorization. Powerwave may not accept returns without a return authorization. Claims for
loss or damage may not be withheld from any payment to Powerwave, nor may any payment due
be withheld pending the outcome thereof. WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THE FREIGHT CARRIER'S PERFORMANCE

Section 3 Operating Instructions
3-1 Introduction
This section contains operating instructions for the SPA9329-35 power booster amplifier.
3-2 Initial Start-Up & Operating Procedures
Operating controls, indicators, and connectors located on the SPA9329-35 booster amplifier
module are listed in table 3-1 and corresponding locations for each are shown in figure 3-1. To
perform the initial start-up, proceed as follows:
1.
Verify that all power and RF input and output cables are properly connected, per section 2.
CAUTION
Before applying power, make sure that the input and output of the amplifier are properly terminated at 50 ohms. Do not operate the amplifier without a load attached. Refer to table 1-2 for input power requirements. Excessive input power may damage the
amplifier.
NOTE
The output coaxial cable between the amplifier and the antenna must be 50-ohm coaxial cable. Use of any other cable will distort the output.
2.
Turn on supply that provides +27 Vdc to the amplifier system.
3.
Set the DC power ON–OFF switch to ON. The corresponding PWR and TMP LED indicators
should illuminate.
4.
Apply the RF input signal.

Section 4 Principles of Operation
4-1 Introduction
This section contains a functional description of the SPA9329-35 power booster amplifier.
4-2 RF Input Signal
The maximum input power should not exceed the limits specified in table 1-1.
4-3 RF Output Load
The load impedance should be as good as possible (1.5:1 or better) in the working band for good
power transfer to the load.
4-4 Amplifier Functional Description
The SPA9329-35 power booster amplifier, shown in figure 4-1, operates in the 1930 MHz to
1990 MHz range. The operating band is determined by the operating frequency selection(s) of
the base station (refer to table 1-2). The amplifier module consists of a single carrier amplifier pallet with the necessary combining and filtering to produce up to 100 watts (50 dBm) of output
power with a maximum gain of 23 dB. The amplifier employs a class AB amplifier for maximum
efficiency. The amplifier operates on +27 Vdc.
The amplifier is compliant to the requirements of FCC Part 24 with respect to spurious emissions
(see table 1-2). All gain variations, for example those due to temperature, are reduced to the passive reference variations.
