1. GENERAL
1.1 Document Purpose
This document provides installation and specification information
on Westell's AWC‐TMAV‐850‐FB 850 MHz Full Band Tower
Mounted Amplifier (TMA). A Westell AWC‐TMAV‐850‐FB
TMA is shown in Figure 1. See Table 1 for ordering information.
1.2 Document Status
Whenever this document is updated, the reason will be stated in
this paragraph.
‐ NOTE ‐
Hereafter, the AWC‐TMAV‐850‐FB Tower Mounted Amplifier may
be referred to as the “TMA.”
1.3 Product Purpose & Description
Westell's TMA's are cost­effective tools to extend cell site cover­
age and improve cell site capacity by conditioning and
amplifying the user‐endpoint uplink signal in an LTE radio ac­
cess network. Westell's TMAs can be used in any application
which requires improved receiver sensitivity of the BTS/eN­
odeB.
1.4 Product Mounting Location
The TMA is typically installed on a cell tower, close to the an­
tenna. See Paragraph 3.4 for mounting steps and Figure 6 for
dimensions.
1.5 Product Features
Features of the TMA are shown in the following list.
S
Advanced, balanced LNA design with variable gain capability

2.2 Pre­LNA Rx BPF
This is the pre­LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) band pass filter.
This filter conditions the uplink signal from the antenna before
the LNA.
2.3 Balanced Low Noise Amplifier
This is the amplifier of the TMA and includes the bypass cir­
cuitry.
2.4 Post­LNA Rx BPF
This is the post­LNA band pass filter. This filter conditions the
uplink signal to the eNodeB.
2.5 Tx BPF
This is the transmit band pass filter. This filter conditions the du­
plexed downlink signal from the eNodeB to the antenna.
