1 watt 5.8 ghz 802.11a compatible outdoor amplifier features ? 1 watt output power, fixed tx/rx gain ? 10 db tx gain, 12 db rx gain ? compact aluminum construction ? dc injector and 9 vdc power supply ? mast mounting kit smartwave? sm5801-1000 is a 5.8 ghz outdoor amplifier for 802.11a wireless lans. it is compatible with ieee 802.11a ofdm radios as well as radios using direct sequence or frequency hopping spread spectrum modulation. the sm5801-1000 is a fixed gain amplifier with up to 1 w or +30 dbm of output power. the gain is fixed at the factory at +10 db for tx and 12 db for rx. the receive gain compensates for cable losses and actually increases the receive sensitivity of most wireless lan radios. this feature permits long cable runs with no degradation in operating range. since this is a outdoor amplifier it can improve range and reliability by placing up to full transmit power as well as 12 db of receive gain directly at the antenna where it is most effective. designed for outdoor installations, the sm5801-1000 features rugged weatherproof construction to ensure years of reliable operation in the harshest environments. included with this model, the dc power injector provides power to the amplifier through the antenna cable, simplifying installation. current-sensing circuits provide remote amplifier diagnostic leds. in addition, this unit provides effective lightning protection with multi-strike capability. note: this hyperlink bi-directional amplifier is designed for burst half-duplex operation. it is not intended for constant transmit or cw operation. operation of the amplifier in cw mode will damage the amplifier and void the warranty. details smartwave # sm5801-1000 manufacturer smartwave upc # (more) 822335100220 rohs status rohs compliant (more) these amplifier products are available only for export, military, licensed amateur radio and oem component sales and are not offered for general sale within the usa. applications ? 5.8 ghz ism, unii applications ? 5.8 ghz wireless lan systems ? ieee 802.11a ofdm compatible specifications frequency 5100 – 5900 mhz transmit power 1w (30 dbm) receive gain 12 db ± 2 db transmit gain 10 db ± 2 db operating mode bi-directional tdd frequency response ± 2 db tx/rx switch time < 500 nsec tx input power 2 dbm min / 18 dbm max noise figure < 3.5 db typical connectors (amplifier & dc injector) n-female power supply connector on dc injector 2.1 x 5.5 x 10mm power consumption tx < 1.3a / rx < 50ma supply voltage 8 - 12 vdc operating temperature 0°c to +60°c (+32°f to +140°f) weight 0.13 kg (0.30 lbs) dimensions 93 x 60 x 31 mm (3.6 x 2.4 x 1.2 in) rohs compliant yes
