CHAPTER 1 

 DESCRIPTION

 

1.1 OVERVIEW 

 
The SelectAmp CDMA 800 bi-directional channelized amplifier provides selective frequency amplification of 
user specified frequencies in the SMR, Cellular, and ESMR bands.  This unit will selectively filter for one 1.25 
MHz or 5 MHz channel, depending on the part number ordered, in the Uplink and Downlink band as 
determined by the operator.  Frequency selection, gain adjustment and fault monitoring is accomplished with 
monitor and control circuitry and firmware. 
 
Within this manual, Uplink refers to the RF signal path from the mobile unit to the base station (Donor Cell) 
and the Downlink refers to the RF signal path from the base station to the mobile unit. 
 

1.2 ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
