ClearGain® Dual Inline TMAs
Americas
SPEC SHEET
As mobile usage continues to increase, service providers are faced with the challenge of optimizing
and expanding their wireless networks to provide new and existing services. ADC’s ClearGain®
Tower-Mounted Amplifiers (TMAs) minimize the cost of network expansion and improve the
quality of service, allowing carriers to increase profitability from new and existing services.
ClearGain TMAs improve signal quality by boosting the uplink (RX) signal of a mobile system
immediately after the antenna. This compensates for the loss in signal strength that occurs
when the signal is passed through the coaxial feeder cable to the base transceiver station (BTS)
at the base of the tower. These TMAs perform this amplification with the lowest possible noise
contribution, resulting in a substantial increase in receiver performance and an improvement in
overall coverage. These improvements in quality of service allow mobile subscribers to place more
calls, make longer calls, and successfully complete calls in an expanded geographic area, resulting
in increased revenue.
Benefits:
• Small size and low weight. Allows for easy installation with minimal visual impact and
in weight-restricted implementations.
• Improved uplink coverage. TMAs enable base stations to receive mobile signals more clearly
in a wider coverage area than could otherwise be achieved.
• Increased RF performance. By improving signal quality and/or reducing mobile phone power
transmission, TMAs provide more successful call attempts, a reduction in dropped calls,
maximized data rate, improved call quality and the extension of handset battery life.
• Fully AISG compliant.

The ClearGain Dual Inline AWS TMA allows for mounting of the equipment to serve two RX paths in
one location on the tower, reducing time and expense in mounting the TMA. The inline feature also
allows for easier connection of the jumper cables to the antenna.
A ClearGain TMA system is modular, consisting of both a masthead unit (MHU) and a power distribution
unit (PDU), providing full compatibility with all base stations. Due to its exposed installation, the TMA
is designed to withstand demanding weather conditions and features lightning protection, fault
monitoring, and a fail-safe bypass circuitry system.

Dual Inline Power Distribution Unit
Time and space are important considerations when selecting and installing wireless components at
base transceiver station sites. The simple, compact design of ADC’s ClearGain Power Distribution
Unit (PDU) is intended to help service providers save both. From a compact unit that is easily mounted
on a wall or in a rack, the ClearGain PDU provides power and alarming for up to three ClearGain
Tower-Mounted Amplifiers.
ClearGain Dual Inline TMAs
Features:
• Provides power and alarm functions for on-site monitoring of up to three dual-inline masthead
units (MHUs)
• Monitors condition of feeder cable
• Wall or rack-mountable to fit available space
• LED indicators for alarm functions
• Simple, compact design allows for easy installation and connections
• AISG compliant
The ClearGain Dual Inline TMA system is modular, consisting of an MHU and a PDU, providing full
compatibility with all base stations.
The ClearGain Dual Inline PDU is an integrated unit that provides power and alarm functions for the
ClearGain TMA system. The PDU monitors the current of the MHU. If an MHU fails, the ClearGain Dual
Inline PDU gives an alarm indication. The ClearGain Dual Inline PDU also monitors the condition of the
feeder cable. Alarm indicators identify failure in the feeder cable or MHUs and in which MHU the
failure occurred, providing fast and easy on-site diagnostics.
The flexible design of the ClearGain Dual Inline PDU allows it to be rack-mounted or mounted indoors
on the wall or on the side of a BTS cabinet.
An external Bias-T unit is used in conjunction with the Dual Inline PDU and is designed to connect
directly into the BTS coaxial connector. Bias-T units are available with various connector types, with
gas tube arrestors for lightning protection on the ANT and MHU ports. Quarter wave stub lightning
protection is integrated on the BTS port of the Bias-T units.
