OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

3-1.  INTRODUCTION

This section contains operating instructions for the Multicarrier Cellular Amplifier.

3-2.  INITIAL START-UP AND OPERATING PROCEDURES

There are no operating controls or indicators on the NTGS86AA amplifier module.  To perform the
initial start-up, proceed as follows:

1. Double check to ensure that all input and output cables are properly connected.

CAUTION

Before applying power, make sure that the input and output of the
amplifier are properly terminated at 50 ohms.  Do not operate the
amplifier without a load attached.  Refer to table 1-1 for input power
requirements.  Excessive input power may damage the amplifier

NOTE

The output coaxial cable between the amplifier and the antenna must

be 50 ohm coaxial cable.  Use of any other cable will distort the output.

2.  Turn on supply that pr26 Vdc to the amplifier system.

3. Turn on external exciter/transceiver and apply RF input signals.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

4-1.  INTRODUCTION

This section contains a functional description of the Single Channel Power
Amplifier (SCPA).

4-2.  RF INPUT SIGNAL

The maximum input power should not exceed the limits specified in table 1-1.
