The maximum input power for each channel is - 3 dBm (see also the data sheet [ZHL-20W-13SW+](./datasheets/Amplifier_Datasheet_ZHL-20W-13SW+.pdf)). A wiring diagram of the PTX amplifier can be found in the appendix of this documentation. Further components and operating elements can be found in the following Table 1 or in Figures 2 - 4. +As a main component the broadband high power amplifier ZHL-20W-13SW+ (SN: RB81028153) was used to amplify the signals of the eight channels.
