Centennial, CO – Kaelus announced today that it will be exhibiting at the Mobile World Congress 2012 to be held in Barcelona, Spain from February 28^th to March 1^st (Hall 1, Booth 1D68.) Kaelus will be showcasing its new Range to Fault (RTF) passive intermodulation (PIM) test equipment as well as new low PIM combining solutions for GSM, UMTS and LTE network deployments. 

 

Range to Fault (RTF) technology uses reflection data combined with PIM data to accurately identify the location of faults in the RF path. This new technology enables operators to quickly identify and eliminate sources of PIM in their RF infrastructure and confidently combine multiple bands on the same feed system without generating harmful interference. Eliminating PIM reduces system noise allowing higher data throughput and improved service quality. 

Kaelus will also be presenting an assortment of high performance RF filters that combine inputs from multiple base stations at the bottom of the tower and then separate the bands at the top of the tower for routing to the appropriate antenna port. Kaelus’ multi-band combiners are low PIM, low insertion loss and provide high isolation between bands for maximum site performance. The combiner models that will be on display will include:

AMC0011:      EGSM900 / UMTS900 Same band combiner

DBC0058:      LTE800 / EGSM900 Dual band combiner

DBC2037:      700-900 / 1800-2100 Dual band combiner

QBC0003:      700-900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 MHz Quad band combiner

 

In addition to combiners, Kaelus will display a new Tower Mounted Amplifier (TMA) that simplifies UMTS2100 and LTE1800 network deployments. The TMA2053 is a dual duplex, AISG controlled TMA that amplifies uplink signal from mobile subscribers in both the 1800 MHz and 2100 MHz bands while allowing downlink signals to pass through with very low insertion loss. In combination with a DBC0021 dual band combiner, this TMA enables 1800 and 2100 MHz systems to co-exist on the same feed system and to utilize the same wideband antenna.

 

TMA2053:      1800 / 2100 MHz Dual band, Dual Duplex, Twin TMA
