Motorola’s 1 GHz STARLINE

®

 Mini-Bridger

®

 series amplifier, model 

MB100*, leads the industry in features and performance and is designed to 
meet the needs of today's expanding broadband communication networks. 
This two-way capable dual output amplifier offers high gain, high output 
levels, ergonomics, superior distortion performance, multiple diplex filter 
options, 16 dB return loss, and Bode equalization. The MB100 also allows 
optional advanced features such as ingress control switching and status 
monitoring.  A third output is user-configurable via splitter or directional 
coupler plug-in.  Single output models are also available.   

ENHANCED GALLIUM ARSENIDE 

The MB100 uses Enhanced Gallium Arsenide (E-GaAs) hybrids.  This 
second generation technology provides superior distortion performance in CTB and CSO over the standard GaAs 
technology.  Compared to silicon and competing GaAs technology, E-GaAs distortion performance remains linear at 
significantly higher output levels.  This higher output level allows the customer to maximize system performance and 
reduce system costs.  We encourage our customers to contact their Motorola Account Representative to determine the 
optimal levels for their systems. 

HIGH GAIN 

The MB100 also offers high gain, which allows the operator to hold existing amplifier locations during system upgrades 
thereby reducing system costs such as maintenance, installation and powering.  

 

   

 

The MB100 two-way 
amplifier offers 1 GHz 
bandwidth capability, 
high gain, high output 
level, ergonomics, and 
superior distortion 
performance with the 
option to bench upgrade 
to N-split (5-85/104-1003 
MHz) in the future.
