All rights reserved 044-xxxxx Rev. A 4-1 February 2003 SPA 9321-30C Installation and Service Manual 4-4.1 Driver Amplifier The driver amplifier is a three-stage amplifier which provides approximately 23 dB of gain in the 60 MHz frequency band from 1930 to 1990 MHz. The amplifier is mounted directly on a heat sink, which is temperature monitored by a thermal sensor. 4-4.2 Main Amplifier The main amplifier is a two-stage Class AB amplifier with approximately 26 dB gain and a P1dB of +50 dBm. The amplifier’s output is protected from output mismatches. The amplifier is designed to meet spectral mask requirements for GSM and EDGE signals when operated up to +45.2 dBm. The amplifier is mounted directly on a heat sink, which is temperature monitored by a thermal sensor. 4-4.3 Power Distribution The amplifier module operates on a –48 VDC nominal power supply consuming 3.75 amps or less (typically) current at full power. A DC/DC converter to supply internal circuitry with +27 VDC and +5 VDC. 4-4.4 Multifunction Board The multifunction board enables communication between the amplifier and the base-transceiver station in which it is installed, and stores information about the amplifier. The multifunction board also monitors several amplifier performance parameters and reports output power so that the BTS can maintain the output power within specified limits. When these parameters are beyond acceptable levels, the amplifier will alarm. The alarms are: Temperature Alarm - If the internal temperature reaches 90°C, the PA shuts down and communicates an alarm through the digital interface. DC/DC Alarm - If the output voltage of the converter falls below 23.5V, the PA shuts down and communicates an alarm through the digital interface. Over-current Alarm - If the output current of the DC/DC converter goes above a nominal threshold (7.5 A), the PA shuts down and communicates an alarm through the digital interface. Communication Alarm - If the serial interface detects an error in transmission (parity, overrun, framing), an alarm is sent for one burst only during the very next burst. The PA operation is not affected. Copyright Powerwave Technologies, Inc., February 2003. All rights reserved 044-xxxxx Rev.
