AMP51505925-TRX-K

Wi-Fi TX / RX booster amplifier for leaky waveguides

More and more Wi-Fi installations migrate from 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz in order to benefit from increased bandwidth and less interference. In typical applications like high-bay ware houses, radiating cable is used as the preferred antenna type, as it achieves superior coverage of the Wi-Fi signal in complex environments, especially in the presence of arbitrary steel structures. However, the longitudinal attenuation of radiating cable at 5 GHz forces shorter cable lengths. This restriction is removed when using Becker’s bidirection Wi-Fi-booster, that allows to add multiple segments of radiating cable to the same Wi-Fi Access Point (AP). Using the Wi-Fi booster, the resulting cable run originating from a single Wi-Fi AP can even be longer than with 2.4 GHz without the booster. AMP51505925-TRX-K is a complete kit for a simple extension of Wi-Fi coverage via radiating cables.

The kit contains a DC Feeding Unit “DFU” for mounting on radiating cable heads, one Wi-Fi booster amplifier “AMP51505925-TRX”, 2 pcs of RF cables to enable mounting the booster amplifier on the wall and a Termination Unit “TU” for mounting at the end of the radiating cable. The booster amplifier is phantom supplied with 24 V DC via the feeding unit DFU. The Termination Unit blocks the phantom DC supply and terminates the last radiating cable segment with 50 ohms to avoid drops in coverage caused by standing waves.
