    Line amplifiers recover the RF loss by amplifying the signal to the desired signal strength before sending it down the next section of radiating cables. Hence, the in-building RF seamless coverage can be maintained. 2.2 BDA Line Amplifier Diagram © DCM000000018 Kaval Telecom Inc. Page 2-4 of 51...
  • Page 6: Bda "Off-The-Air" Amplifier System Application

    A typical in-building coverage extension system is shown in Figure 1-2. The head-end subsystem, namely Kaval bi-directional amplifier, is responsible for the amplification of both incoming “off-the-air” downlink signal and outgoing uplink signals. The in-building distribution antenna system comprises of Coaxial cable, Signal taps, splitters and antennas to extend coverage on every floor, basement and underground parking garage.
