circuitry continuously monitors the DC power oper-
ation of the primary quad-amplifier and automati-
cally switches to the identical secondary quad-
amplifier if conditions indicate a primary malfunc-
tion. Fault detection circuitry also provides at-a-
glance status reporting, with front-panel LED’s and
an LCD display. The system specifications are
listed in

Tower Top Box
The quad-amplifier in the tower top box amplifies
the weak received signal before the signal enters a
long and lossy transmission line, thus preventing
the line loss from degrading the signal-to-noise
ratio. The quadrature amplifiers have a separate
power circuit for each half of the amplifier which
provides component redundancy as well as unsur-
passed IM performance. Microprocessor controlled
fault detection circuitry in the tower top box pro-
vides continuous monitoring and switching of each
quad amplifier while sending operational data to
the base unit front panel for at-a-glance status
reporting and form-C contact switching for alarm
integration. Included in the tower top box is a pre-
selector filter, amplifier “A” and amplifier “B,”
switching circuitry, control board and lightning
