Section B-PURPOSE AND PLANNING INFORMATION
I - INTRODUCTION
•
The ETL0470 TV RF Power Amplifier Module provides linear, class “AB” amplification of composite
Sound TV signals in the standard UHF bands IV & V (470 to 860 MHz). Rated RF output
power is set to 700 W. Nominal input power is 2 W.
•
This Power Amplifier Module has been expressly designed to be used in combination with others
700 W Amplifiers:
⇒
⇒
⇒
two power amplifier modules produce an output power in excess of 1kW,
four power amplifiers modules produce an output power in excess of 2 kW,
eight power amplifier modules are combined to produce a nominal output power of 5kW.
•
The configuration of two ETL0470 TV RF Power Amplifier Modules is designated model
ETL0480TBD, which comprises two power amplifier modules, two 3 dB hybrids and a band-pass
output filter with a power rating of 1 kW. All these components are housed in a standard 19” metal
cabinet, which provides additional space for the Exciter and for ancillary equipment.
•
A transmitter or a Transposer capable of a full 1 kW output can be built using an Exciter of the
ETL0310 (TV Transmitter) family or of the ETL0290 (TV Transposer) family.
•
A complete selection of options, together with ordering information, is given at the end of this
Section B.
