2.1.2.1 Power Amplifier Input/Output Connections
The power amplifier (PA) is a forced convection-cooled RF power amplifier. It accepts a low-level modulated RF
signal from the transceiver module, and amplifies it for transmission through the site transmit antenna. Also, to
complete the Cartesian correction loop (linearization method), it provides a low level RF feedback signal to the
transceiver module to achieve the required transmitter linearity.
Transmit power output can be set using Configuration/Service Software (CSS). See
Values and Battery Type , page 4-31
The power amplifier also performs functions related to the fan module, including reporting of the fan module status
and supplying power to the fan power bus.

Power Amplifier Module
The power amplifier is comprised of six internal modules:
• Core Board
• Converter Board
• Driver Amplifier Board
• Final Amplifier Board
• Distribution Board
• Output Circuitry
2.1.2.1 Power Amplifier Input/Output Connections
There are three electrical connection assemblies on the power amplifier:
•
RF output (front QN "quick-N" connector) on front of power amplifier module
This is cabled to the N-type female bulkhead connection at the rear of the base radio housing.
•
DC power supply/control signal (backplane connection)
