OVERALL

CHARACTERISTICS

TXM SMP© Superior Modular Philosophy

allows relevant advantages:

• The entire system benefit of the optimum characteristics of the base module VL Amplifier.

• The VL Amplifier are each of them a complete a functioning module with it’s own power supply ventilation, control logic and output filter, so, as the opposite of the standard plug-in transmitters bricke lives by themselves witch facilities the maintenance and the test: no need of special tools, each module can be connected and installed or tested as a single amplifier.

• Developping the VL Amplifier our engineers concentrate all the effort on: minimize weight, cost, power consumption and heat produced, and maximize: efficiency, reliability, electrical performance, connectivity and easy maintenance.

• A single VL Amplifier can be put on air as back-up of a bigger transmitter.

• Shock and vibration during the transportation process can compromise the result of an installation, optimizing the VL Amplifier package allow our engineers to meet the most demanding transport conditions for hermetic, temperature control and vibration and Shock Isolation.

During installation and maintenance, handled light packs help the health to operators.

The TXM SMP© Superior Modular Philosophy Is a family based on a very compact Amplifier and its variouscombinations. Thanks to a careful choice of size, 2 HE, power levels of the building blocks 2 kW FM, it can be considered as the New Reference for the modular transmitters.

The modularity is completed with special combiners, FM exciters and control logics.

FM exciter can be Analog or DDS both with integrated AES/EBU interface.

KEY FACTS

• Integrated AC Mains filtering.

•Integrated lightning protection.

•Delayed energized of the system after Mains Power Blackout prevents against peaks and high variation voltages typical of this events.

•Soft controlled sequential start-up so to reduce the Inrush current during OFF to ON transition.

WEB/SNMP Telemetry and Remote Control

•Full Local or Remote control by by logon username and password.

• Remote control with Smartphones or Tablet.

• Host Logic and tele-measurement (TM, TC & TA).

• Remote control and monitoring via SNMP and/or WEB interface.

• With logbook or log file to record error or alarm message.

• Display of forward/reflection power value and reflection high alarm.

Human Interface

•Each module is equipped with a logic controller that allows full control by a local operator.

•All transmitter and amplifier parameters required for diagnostics can be retrieved locally or remotely via standard (IP) protocol and standard software (web browser, SNMP).

•Multilingual user guidance.

•High Definition, high contrast Color Oled display.

•Quick set of thresholds for protections level. This set is based on assignment of three “flavors” or PERSONALITIES:

Conservative (primary target = protect itself), Standard (balanced), Aggressive (primary target = transmission without interruptions).

N+1 and Backups systems

•Conventional standby systems such as: exciter standby,(n+1) Transmitter standby, passive standby and active output stage standby can be implemented.

•No additional control units are needed for the exciter standby and the active amplifier standby.

LD Tech HIGH Efficiency

• Very high efficiency (more than 75% for a complete 5 kW amplifier).

• Last LDMOS technology for power modules.

• Ultra High RF efficiency (>80 % typ.) software optimized for each power level.

• Lowest weight and dimensions in the industry.

• Lower device heating.

• Lower room heating.

• Lower space occupied.

• Lower maintenance needed.

• Small dimensions and low weight, reduce transportation costs and simplifying the logistic.

• Longer Component Lifespan.

• Reduced Electricity Costs.

• Lower Maintenance Costs.

• Reduced Cooling Costs.

• Fewer Fans.

Driver included on the VL Amplifier

• Maximum redundancy with virtual bottleneck elimination due to presence of a driver stage (LDMOS) on each plug.

• Low power exciter due to presence of a driver stage (LDMOS) on each plug.

• Low power splitters.

• No PA changeover required.

Power Supply Redundancy

• Maximum redundancy due to presence of a compact reliable power supply on each plug

• Highest reliability supply configuration.

• The SMP Module includes a very efficient AC-DC (typ > 95%) SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply).
