This is a 2.4 GHz, ISM band bi-directional RF power amplifier used in data communication networks. It is used to boost the output power of a variety of radio equipment that operate in the half-duplex (Time division duplex)mode such as Zigbee, Blue tooth and 802.11b/g Wireless LAN. The amplifier boosts the RF signals of 30-100mw to about 1watt. Received signals are also amplified adding a gain of about 15 dB. The amplifier is placed between the radio equipment and an external antenna. It is used to obtain longer ranges and/or to overcome radio interference. The amplifier is provided with N-M connectors and suitable pigtails are required to connect the amplifier to the equipment and antenna.
