Linear Power Amplifiers
The Linear Power Amplifier (LPA) is a high quality broadband RF amplifier used for achieving Prism
product-rated power for the Remote Unit Tx forward path RF. The PAs are pass-band specific, with the maximum
composite Tx power levels listed in
Table 13
for Single-Card, Dual-Card, and HDM RF Modules and
Table 14 on
page 19
for Legacy Dual-Bay 40W RF Modules. The LPA is housed within the RF Module, and is not field
serviceable.
NOTE:
Industry Canada 20 dB Pass Band Model Number FWP-C4MT000MOD Cellular 850 MHz = 26.3 MHz and
the PCS 1900 = 66.8 MHz.

The International bands (1800 DCS, 2100 UMTS, 2600 MIMO) Dual/MIMO RF Modules only support 35 MHz contiguous,
as opposed to 35 MHz non-contiguous for PCS and AWS Dual/MIMO RF Modules.
