Exhaust fan
The EuroTel Air-Cooled UHF solid-state transmitter series has been designed
for digital TV standards as well as for analog TV standards. High power density,
excellent transmission quality and superb reliability are the main features of
EuroTel Air-Cooled series.
Power Amplifiers
ETL3100 exciter technologies provides today’s broadcaster unmatched
performance, reliability and quality. The EuroTel Air-Cooled UHF transmitter is a
single transmitter platform capable of DVB-T/H, DVB-T2, ATSC, ISDB-T / ISDB- Exciter modules
Tb, digital standards and analog standards.
For pre-filter power output requirements up to 5 kW COFDM, and 12 kW analog, Mains isolation
the EuroTel transmitter is capable of serving broadcasters needs for efficient, transformers
easy to maintain transmitter systems. New LDMOS device technology delivers
a high increase in power density, ensuring high output power and lower
operating costs.
