THEORY OF OPERATION

The BDA-1819-60 is a bi-directional amplifier. It. is designed to exchange radio
communications in buildings, basements, tunnels and other RF shielded environments.
The BDA improves the sensitivity of base stations in indoor locations where there is a
significant amount of cable loss in RF distribution systems.

It contains two amplifiers providing amplification of RF signals in Up-link and Down-link
frequency bands. They are connected to the external cables via frequency selective
duplexers in order to attenuate all signals that are not in the designated bands.

                                    2.

 INTENDED APPLICATION

BDA is intended for commercial non-consumer applications and has to be installed by
PCS service providers or their qualified subcontractors at the locations where the signal
strength from the base station is insufficient to provide quality communication service.
 Unit is not intended for in-home use to boost output of typical consumer type transmitters
(phones, wireless local loops, etc).
