A Bidirectional Amplifier, or Bi-directional Amplifier (bda), is an active RF device that is widely used in a variety of telecommunication, radar, and other RF sensing applications. Though conceptually a Bidirectional Amplifier performs a relatively simple operation, the internal electronics can be somewhat complex. Moreover, many applications favor certain names and types of Bidirectional Amplifiers, ..

In a similar way to how wireless technology is enabling new functionality and opportunities in civilian life, there are a wealth of military applications embracing, and being enhanced, by wireless technology. Unlike civilians, military operators require a much higher level of reliability and redundancy, as a few second gap in coverage for a military operator ..

A Bi-Directional amplifier (BDA) is a device that locates a wireless signal, amplifies it, and then rebroadcasts it throughout a building or area. The backbone of most range or signal extending technologies is a relatively simple dual amplifier device with an integrated low noise amplifier (LNA) and power amplifier (PA). The Bi-Directional amplifier either enables ..
