Bi-Directional Amplifier No Remote Diagnostics
The Becker UHF Bi-Directional Amplifier is typically used in Mining, Shipping, Tunnelling, Motorway and In-Building radiating cable systems to compensate for Leaky Feeder Cable longitudinal losses in both directions simultaneously.
Becker BDA specifications are optimally suited to maximize these performance criteria. The BDA serves to maintain the strength of RF signal levels along the Leaky Feeder coaxial cable. The amplifier is unique in that it offers the lowest possible noise contribution to an already weak RF carrier when operating in collocation with a strong carrier. The connectors of the inline amplifiers have been designed for ease of connection making installation and repair as convenient as possible. The Power Source required from the Leaky Feeder cable is 5V to 17Vdc. The most important performance criteria of a BDA are:
- Channel capacity - Number of simultaneous voice and data
- Channel quality (clear voice channels, data channel, integrity).
- Channel isolation (Freedom from intermodulation distortion).
- Distance achievable away from the cable.
- Reliability and Mean Time Between Failure channels.
