1. General Product Description
SMART Amplifier (SMARTAMP) is a new bi-directional antennamount amplifier designed to match any advanced spread
spectrum system, either direct sequence or frequency
hopping, to allow the extension of the operating range in
wireless environment. It is provided in a wide range of
frequencies, such as 900 MHz, 2400 MHz, or 5800 MHz where
advanced spread spectrum systems are operated. It works in
Time-Division Duplex (TDD) mode that allows the radio device
sharing the antenna in different time intervals. SMARTAMP
consists of an intelligent algorithm and Automatic Gain
Controlled (AGC) circuits to maintain the output power and
prevent transmit signal saturation. The input transmit power
level is sensed by the Radio Frequency (RF) sensor and the
gain is automatically adjusted to minimize the signal
distortion so that the desired signal quality can be
assured.
This product has a wide range of wireless applications in
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), Wireless Local Loop
(WLL), Wireless Internet Access (WIA), wireless modem
connection with point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, where
the Time Division Duplex (TDD) technology is used.
2. Background
In wireless applications, when longer operating range is
required, the add-on antenna amplifier and DC injector set
are often a choice. Because of different site layout and
hardware
configuration,
it
is
almost
impossible
for
amplifier manufacture to design the amplifier and fit all
applications.
Typically,
in
most
applications,
the
interconnection cable could have different length from a few
feet to a few hundred feet.
The attenuation between DC
injector and bi-directional amplifier could be few dB to
more than 20 dB. Also, different radio modems have different
output powers.
Thus, the system installer must carefully
measure the input RF power at the antenna amplifier and
specify the gain of the amplifier in order to maintain the
system performance.
With different systems, different
amplifiers are required. With this invention, the major
difference as compared to other existing technology, is the
‘‘SMART function’’ - power level detection and automatic
gain control circuit. With SmartAmp, the gain can be
intelligently adapt to the input power level in a wide range
and automatically further adjusted to accommodate the cable
and connectors loss, by however length and configuration.
The output power level is monitored and maintained
intelligently, hence the desired performance can be achieved
in all hardware configurations for TDD wireless applications
irrespective of installation environment.
The table below summarizes the difference between SMARTAMP
and other TDD antenna-mount amplifier product.

3. Major Parameters
Smart Amplifier fitted with a Low Noise amplifier (LNA) and
together with its unique bi-directional features is fully
capable of enhancing the coverage area of 2.4 GHz radio
signals by amplifying transmitted and received signals.
The Smart Amp ensures a seamless RF link in most
installations with long cable losses. Its unique outdoor
design enables it to be mast mounted and to operate in wide
temperature range of -40 to +75 C.
2.0 mW (+3 dBm) input to the amplifier delivers 1Watt
output. For signal input values greater than 3 dBm the Smart
Amplifier attenuates the signal accordingly and keeps the
output at 30 dBm. Up to 200 mW of power may be safely
applied directly to the amplifier input without causing any
damage.

Installation:
The SmartAmp is a stand-alone unit designed for installation by professional radio installers.
Typical Installation:
As shown in the above diagram power is carried to the amplifier from DC Injector via RF cable.
The DC injector is an indoor unit and requires weather protection. The amplifier is installed at
the antenna pole (or mast) with the U-bolt assembly. It is a weatherproof unit and designed to
withstand the outdoor environment. Since the SmartAmp is built with lightening protection
circuitry, it is extremely important to ground the whole unit. A grounding cable can be tightened
directly to the U bolt. This would not only ground any lightening strike on the antenna but
would also relieve it from any static buildup in the environment during bad weather.
Once the unit is installed and tested, all the N connectors must be waterproofed with electric
tape or any other sealant.
Caution:
I.
II.
The RF cable between the DC Injector and the amplifier carries 12V DC
power, make sure it is NOT shorted to ground, OR DC Injector could be
permanently damaged.
If this cable is accidentally connected to “To Antenna” connector on the
Amplifier (since it has lightening protection with DC ground), the DC
Injector could be permanently damaged.
6. DC Power Injector Connections, Indicators and labels:
The DC injector injects DC power into the RF cable and the power is carried to the amplifier
with the RF signal.
“To Radio” Connection:
This “N” Female connector is connected to the radio modem via a short jumper RF cable.
Page 6
“To Amplifier” Connection:
This “N” Female connector connects to the amplifier on the mast via the transmission
cable.
LED: Green LED indicates DC power on.
DC Power Supply:
The power supply provided with the unit is universal type, 110/220
V AC to 12 VDC converter. This has been tested for quality and
performance. If a different 12V DC adapter has to be used make sure
it is provided with center positive 2.5mm jack and minimum of 1.2
Amp rated capacity.
7. Amplifier Connections, Indicators and Labels:
“TO DC Injector” Connection:
This “N” Female connector is connected to the DC Power Injector via the transmission
cable.
“TO Antenna” Connection:
This “N” Female connector connects to the antenna with a short length of coax cable.
LED:
This LED indicates three states:
1. Transmit = Green
2. Receive = Red
3. High speed Tx / Rx switching = Orange
8. Functioning:
The unit operates automatically and no user adjustments are required.
This amplifier is designed for 2.4 GHz radios using Time Division Duplex (TDD) mode of
operation. It is equipped with a high speed Tx / Rx switch, that detects transmit signal and
switches to transmit mode within 600 ns. In the absence of any transmit signal the unit stays in
receive mode. If used with a radio devices using separate bands for transmit and receive in a
true full duplex mode, the amplifier would not work.
9. Summary:
Page 7
This manual describes how SmartAmp as a product exploits the automatic gain
control by detecting the input power level, automatically adjusting
its gain and maintaining the output power to a specified level while
minimizing the signal distortion and maximizing and transmission
distance. This product has a wide range of wireless applications in
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), Wireless Local Loop (WLL),
Wireless Internet Access (WIA), wireless modem connection with pointto-point, point-to-multipoint, where the Time Division Duplex (TDD)
technology is used.
