Principle of Operation
The TAU-100 power amplifier supplies a 100 watt peak video signal with 10% aural power on any of the
UHF television channels 14 through 69. Please note that channel selection must be made at time of
order, as the transmitter or translator is calibrated and tested to the channel requested and is not field
tuneable. The TAU-100 power amplifier is a modular solid-state 100-watt broadcast amplifier utilizing
readily available RF components wherever possible, thus enhancing the serviceability of the
equipment.
The TAU-100 is comprised of a UHFTV-10 driver and UHFTV-150 final amplifier. The unique zero sync
compression technology ensures digital ready operation.
The TAU-100 features ultra linear amplification and individual channel RF output bandpass filtering.
The amplifier modules are stable for high reliability and long service life.
