SPA9329-35 Installation & Service Manual

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.
