AW-0100 IDUT COMPACT MMDS TRANSMITTER

(100 Watts)

PRODUCT APPLICATION:

The AW-0100 IDUT is a broadband MMDS

transmitter with a channel capacity up to

31 television channels or 150 digital channels (64QAM modulation). The  transmitter  incorporates  traditional  Cable  AML reliability and advanced design features. The AW-0100 IDUT is designed to provide cost-effective coverage over a wide area. With an omnidirectional transmit antenna it can cover an area of approximately 15

Kilometer radius when fully loaded with

31  channels,  or,  a  22  Km  radius  when loaded with 15 channels. A larger area can be covered if the desired coverage is less than 360 degrees in azimuth.

The  input  is  a  broadband  signal  in  the

222-420 MHz range. The output is in the

2.5-2.7 GHz range. As in all broadband transmitters, the output power depends on the number of channels. For example, with a 12 channel load the transmitter   deliv-

ers 400mW per channel  with a C/CTB of better  than  50  dB  (measured  with  CW carriers), or approximately 700mW  per channel (peak power).

The transmitter is very easy to install and operate. It's compact design requires only

12.25 inches (31.2 cm) height in a  stan- dard  19  inch  (48.3  cm.)  wide  rack  or cabinet. It is designed to operate indoors without air conditioning requirements.

The transmitter features a modular design for ease of maintenance and service. The key modules are the 12 VDC power sup- ply, driver, power amplifier and diagnostic circuits.

Two   optional   features   are   offered:

(a) output monitoring at VHF frequencies and (b) a low-noise local oscillator with external reference locking capability.
