Bi Directional Amplifier (BDA) Facts Every Waterloo and Cedar Rapids Building Owner Should Know

Before, many building owners think that bi-directional amplifiers (BDAs) are only to be used by high-rise buildings in a major metropolis such as:

• New York
• Chicago
• Los Angeles
• Houston

But nowadays, several building owners who are aware of the many benefits a BDA can do for their communication system are now requesting that this be installed on their property. This includes fixing signal degradation a building may be experiencing due to:

• Poor starting signal
• The physical construction of the building
• Distance from the source
• The material used in the building

 Thus, it is now commonly requested by multi-story, hotels and large footprint buildings even in Waterloo and Cedar Rapids.

Types of Bi-Directional Amplifiers (BDAs)

There are two types of BDA: full-duplex and half-duplex

Full-Duplex BDA

This type of bi-directional amplifier can both transmit and receive signals, simultaneously. This is because it has a separate transmit and receive frequency, which is common among many satellite and cellular communication technologies.

Half-Duplex

This can also transmit and receive signals, however, it cannot be done simultaneously. This is because it uses a different method of switching the old of your BDA. This is done so as to avoid the following:

• Transient impedance scenarios
• Overloading of the receiver
• Loading of the transmitter PA
