(BDA)idealforextendingthecommunicationrangeofhalf‐duplexL‐ orS‐bandtransceiversrunning

constant‐envelopeornear‐constant‐envelopewaveforms.TheNuPower12B04A‐D27acceptsanominal

+27dBmRFinput,andgenerates20wattsofRFtransmitpowerfrom1000to2500MHzintransmit

mode.Theintegratedlow‐noiseamplifierprovidesaminimumof13dBofgaininreceivemode.



BasedonthelatestGalliumNitride(GaN)technology,NuPower’shigh‐efficiencyand6.9in.

formfactor

makeitidealforSWaP‐constrainedapplications.Inaddition,NuPower’sbroadbandfrequencycoverage

supportsoperationalflexibility.NuPowerXtenderbidirectionalamplifiersaredesignedwithruggedized

chassisforhighreliabilityinharshenvironments.Anoptionalaccessorykitisavailable,whichincludesa

2.2 HEAT SINKING

TheNuPowerXtenderisofferedasastand‐alonemodule,oraspartofakit,whichalsoincludesafan‐

cooledheatsinkwithanAC/DCadapterandaninterfacecablewithbananajackplugterminations.The

fan‐cooledheatsinkprovidessufficientcoolingforoperatingtheNuPowerXtenderatroom

temperature(25°C),howeverhigherambienttemperaturesmayrequireadditionalheat‐sinkingto

maintainabaseplatetemperaturebelow60°Cat100%transmitdutycycle.



Figure 3: The NuPower PA Kit offers “out‐of‐the‐box” operation for the user. The fan‐cooled heatsink

with an AC/DC adapter is shown with an example PA (NuPower Xtender not shown).



Caution:Theuseofexternalheat‐sinkingisrequiredespeciallyforthoseapplications

requiringhighdutycycleoperation(e.g.continuouswave)orforextendedon‐timetesting.

Operationwithoutaproperheatsinkundertheseconditionswillcausepermanentdamage

totheproductandwillvoidtheproductwarranty.

3SETUP AND OPERATION

ThissectionprovidesspecificdetailsforproperoperationoftheNuPowerXtendermodule.Following

theseguidelineswillpreventdamagetothebidirectionalamplifierorexternalequipment.

3.1 POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

TooperatetheNuPowerXtender,ensurethatthepowersupplyhasadequateoverheadtosourcethe

currentdemandoftheRFamplifier.Thepowersupplysourcemustprovideavoltageof+11to+32VDC

withgreaterthan4ampscapability.

3.2 CONNECTING A PROPER LOAD TO THE ANTENNA TERMINAL

Topreventdamagetotheamplifiermodule,theantennaterminalmustbeterminatedintoa50Ωload.

Examplesofaproperloadinclude:

Directlyconnectingtoanantennaspecifiedforthefrequencyrange(1.0to2.5GHz).Connecting

toaninappropriateantennamayresultindamagetotheamplifiermodule.

Connectingtoaproperantennathrougha50Ωtransmissionlineorcoaxialcable.Avoidusing

damagedcablesorcorrodedconnectorswhileattachingtheunittoanantenna.

Terminatingtheantennaterminalintoa50Ωpowerattenuatorwithminimum20dB

attenuation.

Connectingtoa50ΩloadcapableofdissipatingtheRFpowerfromtheamplifiermodule.Loads

capableofhandling30Watts(min)arerecommended.

3.3 POWERING‐UP THE NUPOWER XTENDER

TheNuPowerXtendermustbeterminatedintoaproperloadbeforepowerisapplied.RefertoSection

3.2forthespecificationsoftheproperload.Aftertheamplifierisproperlyterminated,theinterface

cablecanbeconnectedtotheunitandpowercanbeapplied.Theamplifierisnowreadyforoperation.

Thetransceiverinterfaceconnector,“XCVR,”isSMA(female).

Theantennaconnector,“ANT,”isSMA(female).

Thepin‐outdefinitionsforthe9pinMicro‐Dsocketconnector,“CTRL/PWR,”areprovidedin

cableharness.



TheANTSMAconnectoristheantennaconnection.Thisconnectionshouldalways

beloadedinto50Ω,otherwisetheamplifiercouldbedamaged.

4.1 INTERFACE CONNECTOR

4.2 DC POWER

ThenominalsupplyvoltagefortheNuPowerXtenderis+28VDC.Theamplifiermoduleisableto

supportoperationoverasupplyvoltagerangeof+11to+32VDCwithminimalperformance

4.3 GROUND

Thesignalandpowergroundsaretiedtogetherintheamplifiermodule.

4.4 RS‐485 SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS

ThesesignalsarefortheRS‐485serialcommunicationswiththeNuPowerXtender.Thisinterfaceis

describedinSection5.

4.5 TRANSMIT/RECEIVE (T/R) SOURCE OR SINK

TheT/RSourceorSinklineisconfigurableaseitheranoutput(source)oraninput(sink).WhentheT/R

lineisconfiguredinsourcemode,theXtendertransmitandreceiveswitchingoccursautomatically,

basedontheT/Rlevelsettingandthetransceiver’stransmitstate.TheXtendersourcesalogicsignalto

indicatethemode(transmitorreceive)oftheBDA.AlogichighindicatestheXtenderisintransmit

mode,whilealogiclowindicatestheXtenderisinreceivemode.

WhentheT/Rlineisconfiguredinsinkmode,thetransmitandreceiveswitchingisundermanual

control.ApplyingalogichightotheT/RlineplacestheXtenderintransmitmode.Likewise,applyinga

logiclowtotheT/RlineplacestheXtenderinreceivemode.

T/Rlinelevelscanbeconfiguredto+3.3VDCor+5VDClogiclevels.

ThisI/OlineisdescribedinSection5.

character,(hex0D).

Commandprocessingisnotcasesensitive.

Spacesarealwaysallowedandalwaysignored.

Afterreceivingandprocessingacommand,theNuPowerXtendersendsaCarriageReturn

terminatedstringasanotificationthatthecommandwascompleted.
