UBS Axcera LU100AL Data Sheet

Low Power Transmitter 10W-2kW

Pioneer (Preliminary)

Designed to provide broadcasters with a product that will meet their needs like no other solution on the market, this new low to medium power transmitter line uses the latest devices for broadband operation across each band. This allows users to minimize spare parts stock, which is especially important to group owners and networks, and also enables simple and inexpensive channel changes.

The very compact and completely modular design uses a chassis/backplane conguration with parallel amplier and power supply modules which can be removed and replaced while the transmitter is on the air. Additionally, the Pioneer series was designed to be eld upgradable to digital operation.

Congurations are available in power levels from 10 watts to 2 kilowatts analog and up to 1 kilowatt DTV, and all are manufactured in the USA by Axcera - The RF Experts
