  • Page 3 Description The HPDA-15RM-B is a high performance distribution and isolation amplifier. It contains three modules each of which provide five unity gain outputs for every input signal. The phase noise of the modules is exceptionally low, typically –150 dBc/Hz @ Fourier frequency of 1 Hz and –172 dBc/Hz @ Fourier frequency greater than 10 kHz.

    100-120 VAC  220-240 VAC SMA INPUTS The HPDA-15RM-B contains three amplifier modules each having one input SMA connector. The signal to be distributed should be connected to the SMA jack labeled INPUT. SMA OUTPUTS The five outputs of each amplifier module are DC isolated from the chassis ground to prevent ground loops.
  • Page 7: Operation

    Plug the unit into an appropriate power outlet. A green LED on the front panel labeled “POWER” will turn on. Attach the signal to be distributed to any of the SMA input connectors on the back panel. Any HPDA-15RM-B output may be used to drive the input of another distribution module.
