ClearGain® Tower-Mounted Amplifiers
Americas
As mobile usage continues to increase, service providers are faced with the challenge of optimizing
and expanding their wireless networks to provide new and existing services. ADC’s ClearGain®
Tower-Mounted Amplifiers (TMAs) minimize the cost of network expansion and improve quality of
service, allowing service providers to increase profitability from new and existing services.
The ClearGain TMAs improve signal quality by boosting the uplink signal of a mobile system to
increase receiver performance and improve overall coverage.
Features:
• Provides amplification of the Band
• Highly advanced LNA amplifies RX signal for improved receiver performance
and increase in coverage
• Dual duplex feature reduces the number of feeder cable runs by providing simultaneous
operation of TX and RX with low TX loss
• Full Band feature provides amplification of the entire band
• Advanced filtering maintains the lowest possible noise figure for improved quality of service
• Slim, stackable design conserves tower space and reduces tower-related costs
• Seamless aluminum sleeve construction protects components from the elements
• Modular system is fully compatible with all base stations
• Power and alarming for up to six masthead units is provided from a single unit at the base station

Bias-T Units
ADC’s newly enhanced Bias-T Units can be used indoors and outdoors in conjunction with the ClearGain
power distribution unit (PDU). These versatile units, also known as a DC current injector, insert DC
power into the coaxial cable and extract alarm and monitoring signals from the coaxial cable. These
units can also be used with a SMART PDU.

Singlemode and Dual Mode 800/1900 MHz Power Distribution Unit
Time and space are important considerations when selecting and installing wireless components at base
transceiver station sites. The simple, compact design of ADC’s ClearGain Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is
intended to help service providers save both. From a compact unit that is easily mounted on a wall or a
rack, ClearGain PDUs provide power and alarming for ADC’s tower-mounted amplifiers.
Features:
• Provides power and alarm functions for on-site monitoring of masthead units (MHUs)
• Monitors condition of feeder cable
• Wall- or rack-mountable to fit available space
• LED indicators for alarm functions
• Simple, compact design allows for easy installation and connections
The ClearGain PDU is an integrated unit that provides power and alarm functions for the ClearGain
TMA system. The ClearGain Singlemode PDU provides power for up to six single frequency TMAs. For
dual band systems, the ClearGain Dual Mode PDU provides power for up to six dual band TMAs or
twelve multi-frequency systems that amplify a single frequency.
The PDU monitors the current of the MHU. If an MHU fails, the ClearGain PDU gives an alarm
indication. The ClearGain PDU also monitors the condition of the feeder cable. Alarm indicators identify
failure in the feeder cable or MHUs and in which MHU the failure occurred, providing fast and easy on-
site diagnostics. The flexible design of ClearGain PDUs allows them to be rack-mounted or mounted
indoors on the wall or on the side of a BTS cabinet.
An external Bias-T unit is used in conjunction with the PDU and is designed to connect directly into the
BTS coaxial connector. Bias-T units are available with various connector types, with gas tube arrestors for
lightning protection on the ANT and MHU ports. Quarter wave stub lightning protection is integrated on
the BTS port of the Bias-T units.
