RANSRADIO VHF/FM transmitters cover the entire power
range from 5 W to 30 kW.
The different power classes comprise common standard modules,
which provide easy replacement, cost-efficient upgrade and
low cost of maintenance. All units fit into 19” racks. While single
low-power transmitter can be supplied in table racks, systems
of low-power transmitters as well as the high-power transmitters
are integrated in 2m racks. The flexible cooling system of the
TRANSRADIO transmitters allows individual adaptation to site
specific conditions, e. g. inlet cooling air taken from the outside
and warmed outlet air expelled into the building, external and
internal ventilators and ducted air systems.
TRANSRADIO delivers custom-tailored solutions for the needs
of their customers. The professional service of TRANSRADIO
ranges between the delivery of the transmitter and the
management of turnkey projects including all facilities to
operate a broadcasting station.

All standby concepts can be realized.
❙ Excellent long-term reliability due
to low junction temperature (less than
90°C at 25°C air-temperature)
❙ Protection against over-temperature,
VSWR deviations, over-voltage and
over-current
❙ Fully automatic unmanned operation
even under extreme environmental
conditions. Continuity in full power
operation up to VSWR of 1:1.5. Above
this threshold, service continues
at reduced power
❙ Passive exciter standby
❙ Passive transmitter standby

Low Power Systems T327X
❙ Apart from the transmitter T3270
with a 100W amplifier module, all
transmitters of the T327X family
employ 250W amplifier modules.
Furthermore, every amplifier module
has its own harmonic filter and
pre-amplifier.
❙ The integrated harmonic filter
attenuates the harmonics at the point
of origin. Consequently, the T327X
transmitter family exhibits a minimum
of power loss, EMV-radiation and
a maximum of signal quality.
❙ Due to the integrated pre-amplifier,
an extremely low input level of only
14 dBm (25mW) is required.
Integrating a pre-amplifier in every
amplifier module provides additional
redundancy.

High Power Systems T325X
❙ The T325X transmitter family employs
2.5 kW amplifier modules. Every
amplifier has its own power supply.
The power supply and the amplifier
modules are hot-pluggable.
❙ The transmitter T325X can be
delivered with an exciter T3270 or
a transposer TP 3280. Choosing a
transposer TP 3280 converts the transmitter into a high power transposer.
❙ In addition, a Double Transmitter Rack
Option and Mobile Container Option
are available.
❙ The Double Transmitter Rack Option
gives the ability to integrate two transmitters (T 3256 or T 3255) into one 19”
rack to minimise space requirements.
❙ A rack with a lower height is available
in order to integrate a transmitter
T325X into a mobile container.

The VHF/FM transposers distribute
programmes to local areas or areas
which are difficult to access, for
instance, in valleys or behind mountains, without high investment in fixed
line connections for programme
delivery.
The exciter T 3270 is easily exchangeable with a transposer TP 3280 thus
converting every high-power transmitter
into a high-power transposer. A transposer version TP 328X is available based
on the low-power transmitter. Therefore
transposer from TRANSRADIO cover
the power range from 5W to 30KW.

TRANSRADIO SenderSysteme Berlin plc
introduced a new VHF/FM active transmitter reserve system to the market in
2005. It successfully passed the acceptance test of T-Systems in Germany in
October 2005.
The active transmitter reserve system
combines high redundancy with costefficiency as the complete system
comprises only two 19 inch racks.

5KW Transmitter A2 Transmitter

Reserve
The active transmitter reserve system is
available in 10 and 20 kW versions.
The new system consists of two independent transmitters with separate
power supplies and exciters. Consequently, for maximum redundancy, both
exciters are employed in a passive
standby configuration.
The transmitters can be switched either
individually or as a combined system to
the antenna or dummy load. Motordriven RF coaxial switches enable fully
automatic transmitter operation.
Optional manual switches with shorting
plugs are available.
A central control unit CCU7456 provides
all functions to monitor and to control the
operation of the reserve system. A block
schematic of the RF path is displayed on
the screen of the central control unit.
Web-interface for Remote Access
This function gives broadcast operators
the ability to control their equipment
from any place in the world.
Each transmitter is optionally accessible
via HTML and SNMP. The network
access can be via dial-in (PSTN, ISDN)
or Ethernet connection (TCP/IP).
The remote services are integrated
in the TCP/IP interface-card.
The web server and the SNMP based on
SNMP MIBs (management information
base) offer all necessary functions to
remotely control the transmitter and
to display status messages.
