The EMTS 400MHz LMR/PMR In Line Booster (ILB) provides an excellent solution to the problem of insertion loss of passive components and transmission losses of feeder cables for Indoor Distributions or Tunnel Coverage. Using the ILB the LMR/DMR operator can easily expand a base station’s service area by compensation for feeder losses. The ILB amplifies the signals on the coax cables or leaky cables by using Advanced Bi- Directional Technology. Easy installation, lightweight design, and very friendly GUI make our ILB easy to use and install. The EMTS ILB is a cost-effective and practical solution for extending signal coverage inside buildings, shopping malls, airports, and tunnels where the LMR/DMR networks have poor coverage. The ILB is used to extend the coverage area in a passive distribution antenna system (DAS) connected by coaxial cables. EMTS ILB provides a wide range of configurations to address different customer requirements.

Tactical RF Solutions and In-Line Amplifiers

Tactical RF solutions typically combine communication, coverage and protection components into systems that fit a specific operational need. Defense, security and public safety projects often require equipment that standard catalogues do not cover, so this group brings together RF building blocks used in tactical and private network deployments, together with EMTS engineering support for customised systems.

Products in this group

  • LTE 1800 MHz in-line amplifier: a 30 dBm Band 3 in-line booster that extends LTE coverage by receiving, processing and amplifying the signal within a distribution system
  • 400 MHz DMR and TETRA in-line booster: a high performance booster that compensates for insertion loss in passive components and for feeder cable loss in indoor distribution or tunnel coverage

Where in-line amplifiers fit

In-line amplifiers are installed inside an existing distribution path, rather than taking a signal off-air. For example, they can restore signal levels after long cable runs, many splitters or leaky feeder sections. As a result, a private LTE or professional radio network can reach further without adding a new radio site or a new donor antenna.

Because they operate inside the distribution path, in-line amplifiers must match the band, the required gain and the input levels at their location. Therefore, check the datasheet for gain, output power and noise figure before adding one to a system.

Customised tactical systems

In practice, many tactical projects combine several elements, such as private LTE coverage, professional radio, RF amplification and detection sensors. To scope a customised system, prepare:

  • The mission profile and deployment environment
  • Frequency bands and radio standards in use
  • Required coverage, mobility and power options
  • Integration with existing command and control systems
