Legacy Dual-Bay 40W RF Modules

The Legacy Dual-Bay 40W RF Module (

Figure 5

) is designed for AWS and PCS frequencies and is supported only 

by Classic DARTs. The Legacy Dual-Bay 40W RF Module comprises:

•

one Classic DART

•

one Duplexer that comprises

–

one Low Noise Amplifier (LNA)

–

one Power Detector (PD)

•

two Power Amplifiers (PAs)

•

one Remote DART Interface (RDI) board.

NOTE:

This manual describes how to install the PCS 1900 and AWS 2100 Non-Diversity RF Modules.
