Rohde & Schwarz's Medium-power Transmitter Suitable for Outdoor Applications
(Product News, 7 May 2008)
Rohde & Schwarz has released a medium-power transmitterthe R&S NV8303VOwhich is suitable for outdoor applications. Enclosed in a compact weather- and temperature-proof housing, the transmitter is largely independent of the existing infrastructure and can be used in virtually inaccessible areas. It can be installed quickly and is especially well-suited for setting up new mobile-TV or pilot-test networks. The transmitter supports the ATSC, MediaFLO, DMB-T, DVB-T/-H digital standards, as well as standards such as A-VSB, a technology that Rohde & Schwarz is playing a major role in developing.
Since the transmitter site can be selected by the user, the R&S NV8303VO closes coverage gaps with minimum effort. It can be placed exactly where it is needed to achieve optimum signal coverage. For emergency use in case a main transmitter fails or needs to be serviced, it can be set up anywhere and connected to the network.
The transmitter has an output power of up to 900W and reduces energy costs up to 15 percent due to its low power consumption. In addition, the R&S NV8303VO operates on a single-phase power supply and can be easily integrated into all power networks.
