INSTALLING, CONNECTING, AND USING THE HILNA AMPLIFIER 

HILNA amplifiers have been designed to be highly reliable under the specified operating conditions. The 
following  installation  and  interfacing  guidelines  should  be  followed  to  prevent  damage  to  the  RF 
module. 

 

3.1

 

CABLING 

The HILNA GPS is equipped with high-performance RF connectors. Gold plated SMA-type receptacles are 
used  because  they  perform  very  well  across  the  usable  frequency  range  of  the  unit.  For  optimal 
performance, a high-quality 50 

 coaxial cable with SMA-type plugs should be used to interface with the 

amplifier. 

 

Caution:  Due  to  the  wideband  nature  of  the  unit,  installation  should  not  be  attempted  on  a  tower 
with transmit antennas. 

 

If cables with the  SMA-type  connectors are not available, high quality adaptors are available for most 
coaxial connector types. 
 

3.2

 

POWER SUPPLY 

The  HILNA  GPS  contains  internal  linear  voltage  regulators.  These  regulators  protect  the circuitry  from 
voltage variations at the input and allow for the wide operating voltage. The power connector for the 
units is an industry standard 2 mm circular connector. The only restrictions on the power source for the 
unit are: 

-  Capable of sourcing 80 mA of current 
-  Capable of so5 VDC to +20 VDC 

Car batteries (through a cigarette lighter adaptor),  laboratory DC power supplies, or wall transformers 
are suitable power sources as long as the superimposed ripple is low in amplitude. 
 

3.3

 

CONNECTIONS 

Caution: Do not apply RF to the unit until after all cable connections are made and power has been 
applied. 

 

Making the connections from the HILNA GPS is easily accomplished: 

1.

 

Connect the "RF OUT" connector on the unit to a 50 

 coaxial cable  

2.

 

Apply power to the unit by first plugging in the power cable sent with the unit into the DC power 
input.  

3.

 

Connect the red lead to the positive side of the power supply and connect the black lead to the 
negative side of the power supply. Power is now ready to be applied to the unit.  

4.

 

Connect the RF Source to the RF Destination with a second 50 

 coaxial cable.  

5.

 

Apply RF to the input cable assembly. 

Caution:  The  HILNA  amplifier  contains  components  that  are  sensitive  to 
Electro-Static  Discharge  (ESD).  The  use  of  wrist  strap,  mats,  and  ground 
straps should be adhered to during the installation process.
