The UFM230 is used to configure
antenna systems requiring long cable runs or distribution to
multiple receivers. RF filtering before
gain minimizes intermodulation (IM) products and prevents
overload. Two transmission line ceramic resonators at the input provide filtering with a 230
MHz bandwidth, followed by 12dB of
gain using a high quality GaAsFET RF
amplifier with an excellent +41dBm output IP3.
A switching regulator is used in the power supply to control current consumption over an input
voltage range of 8 to 16
volts. The regulator maintains low current consumption and low heat dissipation which is especially useful in mobile field production applications.
The housing is constructed of cast
aluminum with a brushed
aluminum cover plate. Two rugged
BNC connectors and a threaded, locking power
jack provide secure connections for reliability in field production and longterm installations.
