Motorola’s 1 GHz STARLINE
®
Mini-Bridger
®
series amplifier, model
MB100*, leads the industry in features and performance and is designed to
meet the needs of today's expanding broadband communication networks.
This two-way capable dual output amplifier offers high gain, high output
levels, ergonomics, superior distortion performance, multiple diplex filter
options, 16 dB return loss, and Bode equalization. The MB100 also allows
optional advanced features such as ingress control switching and status
monitoring. A third output is user-configurable via splitter or directional
coupler plug-in. Single output models are also available.

ENHANCED GALLIUM ARSENIDE
The MB100 uses Enhanced Gallium Arsenide (E-GaAs) hybrids. This
second generation technology provides superior distortion performance in CTB and CSO over the standard GaAs
technology. Compared to silicon and competing GaAs technology, E-GaAs distortion performance remains linear at
significantly higher output levels. This higher output level allows the customer to maximize system performance and
reduce system costs. We encourage our customers to contact their Motorola Account Representative to determine the
optimal levels for their systems.

HIGH GAIN
The MB100 also offers high gain, which allows the operator to hold existing amplifier locations during system upgrades
thereby reducing system costs such as maintenance, installation and powering.
