(Product News, 30 Mar 2007)

Powerwave Technologies Inc. expanded its growing line-up of tower mounted amplifiers (TMAs) with the introduction of a 1900MHz TMA, which is designed to enhance coverage and improve up-link signal quality for Remote Electrical Tilt (RET) antennas used in Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) and Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) cellular networks.

The product is compliant with Antenna Interface Standards Group (AISG) specifications designed to control antenna products with digital remote control and monitoring facilities, including RET functionality. Powerwave's 1900MHz TMA offers exceptional performance and power handling, low noise figure, low insertion loss and high reliability.

Powerwave's 1900MHz TMA leverages active components integrated within the filter body, providing an extremely reliable, compact, lightweight and cost-effective solution. Easy to install, the 1900MHz TMA simplifies network logistics, particularly when the frequency bands are scattered, and is comprised of high-Q band-pass filters and balanced low-noise amplifiers with circuits for active bias, supervision, alarms and lightning protection. A vented enclosure design prevents condensation, ensuring long, reliable, maintenance-free service in all environments.
