The RadioLinx AMP58-500 Amplifier series are Automatic Gain Control (AGC) compensated for constant power output bi-directional amplification. This provides constant maximum output power at the antenna over a wide RF input range. An amplifier significantly improves the link reliability and operating range by low noise amplification in receive mode, and spectrally clean power amplification in transmit mode. This amplifier has unique internal filtering and AGC in both the Tx and Rx paths. This combination provides exceptional performance in high traffic areas.
The bi-directional amplifier may also be used if an application requires long lengths of coaxial cable to reach the antenna. The amplifier is designed to put maximum power right at the antenna and boost the received signal primarily to overcome cable loss and improve overall receiver signal quality. The AMP58-500 amplifier has been specifically FCC approved for use with RadioLinx radios.
