Motorola’s 1 GHz STARLINE

®

 Mini-Bridger

®

 series amplifier, model 

MBV3*, leads the industry in features and performance and is designed to 
meet the needs of today's expanding broadband communication networks. 
This two-way capable triple output amplifier offers high gain, three 
balanced high output levels, ergonomics, superior distortion performance, 
multiple diplex filter options, 16 dB return loss, and Bode equalization. The 
MBV3 also allows optional advanced features such as ingress control 
switching and status monitoring.  The MBV3 can be used as a direct 
replacement for the MBE87 amplifier with proper attenuation to create a 
trunk output. 

The MBV3 Three 
balanced output amplifier 
offers 1 GHz bandwidth 
capability, high gain, high 
output level, ergonomics, 
and superior distortion 
performance. 

ENHANCED GALLIUM ARSENIDE 

The MBV3 uses Enhanced Gallium Arsenide (E-GaAs) hybrids.  This second generation technology provides superior 
distortion performance in CTB and CSO over the standard GaAs technology.  Compared to silicon and competing GaAs 
technology, E-GaAs distortion performance remains linear at significantly higher output levels.  This higher output level 
allows the customer to maximize system performance and reduce system costs.  We encourage our customers to 
contact their Motorola Account Representative to determine the optimal levels for their systems. 

HIGH GAIN 

The MBV3 also offers high gain, which allows the operator to hold existing amplifier locations during system upgrades 
thereby reducing system costs such as maintenance, installation and powering.
