Motorola’s 1 GHz STARLINE ® series amplifier, model MB100*, leads the
industry in features and performance and is designed to meet the needs of
today's expanding broadband communication networks. This two-way
capable dual output amplifier offers high gain, high output levels,
ergonomics, superior distortion performance, multiple diplex filter options,
16 dB return loss, and Bode equalization. The MB100 also allows optional
advanced features such as ingress control switching and status monitoring.
A third output is user-configurable via splitter or directional coupler plug-in.
Single output models are also available.
ENHANCED GALLIUM ARSENIDE
The MB100 uses Enhanced Gallium Arsenide (E-GaAs) hybrids. This
second generation technology provides superior distortion performance in CTB and CSO over the standard GaAs
technology. Compared to silicon and competing GaAs technology, E-GaAs distortion performance remains linear at
significantly higher output levels. This higher output level allows the customer to maximize system performance and
reduce system costs. We encourage our customers to contact their Motorola Account Representative to determine the
optimal levels for their systems.
The MB100 two-way
amplifier offers 1 GHz
bandwidth capability,
high gain, high output
level, ergonomics, and
superior distortion
performance with the
option to bench upgrade
to N-split (5-85/104-1003
MHz) in the future.
HIGH GAIN
The MB100 also offers high gain. This allows the operator to hold existing amplifier locations during system upgrades
thereby reducing system costs.
