This two-way–capable single-outputamplifier offers high gain, high output levels, ergonomics, superior distortionperformance, multiple diplex filter options, 16 dB return loss, and Bodeequalization, as well as optional advanced features such as ingress controlswitching and status monitoring.Enhanced Gallium ArsenideThe BLE100 uses second-generation EnhancedGallium Arsenide (E-GaAs) hybrid technology toprovide superior distortion performance in CTBand CSO over the standard silicon and competingGaAs technologies. E-GaAs distortion performanceremains linear at significantly higher outputlevels, allowing the operator to maximize systemperformance and reduce system costs. Motorolaencourages customers to contact their MotorolaAccount Representative to determine optimalsystem levels.High GainThe BLE100 offers high gain, allowing the operatorto hold existing amplifier locations during systemupgrades, reducing maintenance, installation, andpowering costs.Return PathHigh-gain return amplifier kits providing 24 dBminimum station gain are available. Return pathequalizers from 0 to 12 dB can be selected. Thermalcompensation is an optional feature, available as aplug-in JXP-TH*C, which stabilizes gain and matchover temperature extremes.Ingress Control Switching (ICS) in three states isalso available. This pin diode attenuator circuit canlower levels by 6 dB or by 38 dB with a controlledslew rate for minimum bit errors. The LIFELINE Broadband Line Extender transponder (availabledirectly from AM Networks) and accompanyingdeeper housing lid are required to operate theIngress Control Switch from a remote location.

Contactyour sales representativeto learn the system designcost benefits when usingGaN products and designimplementation.Forward PathThe operational gain of the BLE100 is 34 dB, with16 dB return loss. Output level control is achievedthrough the use of an interstage Bode equalizer,which compensates for coaxial cable attenuationchanges due to temperature. Equalization maybe controlled manually, with a thermal drive unit(TDU), or with a single-pilot closed-loop automaticdrive unit, model ADU-* (analog pilot) or QADU-*(QAM pilot). Both the ADU and QADU boards arecommon to the STARLINE family of amplifiers (withthe exception of the SLE and MBV3). ADUs useSurface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filters for determiningpilot frequency, improving amplifier stability overtemperature.To further ensure system flexibility, installation ease,and maintenance, the amplifier is engineered forcompatibility with standard accessories, such asattenuators, equalizers, ADUs or QADUs, returnamplifiers, automotive fuses, and FTEC crowbarcircuits.Block DiagramThe BLE100 uses modular diplex filters, whichcan be changed for a different frequency split asrequired. The following filters are available for usewith all US-style Motorola RF distribution amplifiers(models BLE, MB/MBE/MBV3, BT): S-split (5 to 40 MHz return and 52 to 1003 MHzforward band)K-split (5 to 42 MHz/54 to 1003 MHz)J-split (5 to 55 MHz/70 to 1003 MHz)A-split (5 to 65 MHz/85 to 1003 MHz)N-split (5 to 85 MHz/104 to 1003 MHz)Backward CompatibilityThe BLE100 electronics package can be madebackward compatible with the 10-Amp MB*/*housing by installing the MB-15A Kit or the MB-15AKit II. These kits contain 50 mil gold plated platformassemblies. This makes it possible for the amplifierto carry 15 Amperes continuous through the inputor output ports. There is also a “low current”(10A) model available that can be ordered as anelectronics module (no housing included), which isbackward compatible with the 10-Amp MB housing,without the use of a kit.
