Principle of Operation
The TAUD-1000 power amplifier supplies a 1000-watt (rms) 8VSB television signal 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 TAUD-1000 power amplifier is a modular solid-state 1000-watt broadcast
amplifier utilizing readily available RF components wherever possible, thus enhancing the
serviceability of the equipment.
The TAUD-1000 is comprised of two TAUD-500 500-watt RMS power amplifiers that get combined
to create the 1,000-watts RMS 8VSB RF signal, as illustrated in the following block diagram
