Tower Mounted Amplifier System TMA is used to amplify uplink signal and improve the uplink sensitivity of
BTS. The TMA system is made up of three main components:
TMA: A Low Noise Amplifier(LNA), which is mounted close to the antenna, with bypass switch
Bias Tee: A device used to inject of DC current on the RF cable
PDC: A power distribution device that provides power and alarm handling for TMA
The tower mounted amplifier is designed for use with vertical or cross-pole antenna. The unit is
installed near the antenna at the tower top to improve receiver sensitivity of the base station. The
employment of TMA will result in an increase of successful call attempts, reduction of call drops,
maximized data transmission rate, improved call quality and extended handset talk time. Quality
improvements will lead to increased traffic volume and user satisfaction, hence increasing network
revenue. It is recommended for use in new network roll-outs to minimize base station count, or for
upgrading of existing base stations to improve signal quality and drop call performance.
The TMA comprises of high quality band-pass filters, a pair of balanced low noise amplifiers (LNA),
bias tee, lightning protection and by-pass circuitries. The LNA bypass circuitry is activated when the DC
supply is switched off or when there is a fault in the system.
Power is supplied via external bias tees that connect between the TMA and the PDU. Each PDU is
constructed into a 19 1U form factor, and can provide power for single TMA or three units of TMA.
TMA, one bias tee is needed for each feeder cable connected to the BTS port. Downlink and uplink signals
transmitted through the TMA are separated by filters. The uplink signal is amplified by a pair of balanced LNA
while the downlink signal takes the TX path without amplification.
In the event of DC power or LNA failure, the RF bypass will be activated to provide an alternate path for
uplink signal back to the BTS.

AISG port of PDU connecting to Bias Tee is for DC power supply, when the Manual Switch is at bypass side,
it means DC power for TMA is cut off; so the Manual Switch is at WORK side by default.

3.2.2BIAS TEE
The PDU is connected to the Bias Tee using the Date cable. The cable has a 8-pin connector on one end that
connects to the AISG connector on the PDU, and the other end, a AISG connector, that connects to the Bias
Tee.

3.3 SAFETY
Working on tower is potentially hazardous for person whether directly or indirectly involved in the work.
Having a safety guidelines or procedure can minimize or eliminate these hazards. With this, we considered the
below mentioned requirements before actual implementation, they are as follows:
Thorough planning
Strict supervision
Personal fitness of workers
Right tools and safety gadgets
Working on tower and high level requires a level of physical fitness and working on this must
be voluntary.
Factors to be considered that may stop the workers or not proceed in climbing towers:
If personnel are already working on tower, they must be alert for any sudden change in weather conditions. If
sudden change in weather is encountered, personnel working must stop and descend immediately.
