Motorola’s STARLINE

®

 series amplifier, model MB87*/*, 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, four  diplex filter options, 15 dB return loss,
and  Bode  equalization.  The MB87*/*  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 ARS ENIDE

The MB87  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 linea r 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  MB87  also  offers  high  gain.    This  allows  the  operator  to  hold  existing  amplifier  locations  during  system  upgrades
thereby reducing system costs.

The MB87 two-way
amplifier offers 870 M Hz
bandwidth capability,
high gain, high output
level, ergonomics, and
superior distortion
performance.
