Linear Power Amplifiers

The Linear Power Amplifier (LPA) is a high quality broadband RF amplifier used for achieving Prism product-rated power for the Remote Unit Tx forward path RF. The PAs are pass-band specific, wit h the max imum composite Tx power levels listed in Table 8 for Single-Card, Dual-Card, and HDM RF Modules and Table 9 on

Duplexer and Low Noise Amplifier

The RF Module provides the Remote Unit with an internal Duplexer that is optimized to provide the desired RF band-pass filtering and in-band equipment isolation between FWD and REV paths. The Duplexer provides the filtering necessary to the transmit and receive paths to and from the connected antenna.
The Duplexer for the Single- and Dual-Bay RF Modules and the Legacy Dual-Bay 40W RF Modules contains up to two REV path Low Noise Amplifiers (LNA for PRI and/or SEC reverse paths).
The Duplexer for an HDM RF Module does not have a Low Noise Amplifier.
Duplexers are not field serviceable.

Digital Processing Module

The Digital Processing Module (DPM) is found only in the HDM RF Modules. The DPM provides the primary processing and logic functions for the HDM RF Module. It also provides the primary power interface for the HDM RF Module, and conversion of the native 28
The DPM has a Transmit (Tx) Board and a Receive (Rx) Board:
Tx Board—provides band specific filtering for the intended Transmit path.
Rx Board—provides band specific filtering for the intended Receive path.
Vdc voltage to lower voltages as necessary for functionality.

Cables

Always provided at each RF Module shelf are five cables:
two High-Speed Data Cables, which in this document are referred to as LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling) cables
two RF Cables (TX0/RX0) and (TX1/RX1)
one Power (PWR) Cable.
The RF Module cables that are pre-installed in the PRU connect to the corresponding connectors on the RF Module. The RF Module cables correlate to the antenna connectors on the bottom of the Remote Unit chassis.

NOTE: For Classic dual position 40W RF Modules only: in a dual LPA system, the Configure Remote Forward
Gain page shows two values for the LPA status, one for each LPA. Changing the LPA Mode or resetting the LPA applies to both LPAs at the same time.
CAUTION! Should your system experience an LPA problem, refer to Table 10 to ensure that you apply new settings
or troubleshoot the correct RF Module.
The Legacy Dual-Bay 40W RF Module occupies two bays in a PRU. Figure 8 shows the main components in a PRU enclosure, with a Legacy 40W RF Module
occupying Bays A and B. The controlling DART will always be in the
upper bay (B or D), and the second LPA is always in the lower bay (A or C).
