3 Overview
3.1 About the Product
The RF Forward Path Amplifier - Standard (FPAS) is designed to plug into the latest generation of Advanced Intelligent
Multi-services Access platforms - AIMA3000.
The FPAS accepts forward-path RF signals from 45 MHz to 1218 MHz through the RF input port. The module provides an
adjustable gain of 20 dB with a single output port.
Electronic gain and slope controls allow the module to be customised for many situations.
The forward-path version provides Automatic Gain Control (AGC). The FPAS can also be conveniently monitored and
controlled through a computer connected to one of the Ethernet ports via the ASMM module.
All module settings are retained in non-volatile memory to ensure trouble-free operation. Bulk updating, automatic uploading
and downloading of configuration files can be done when using the NMSE web-based management system.
