Brief Description

Rohde & Schwarz offers a complete family of UHF low-power DVB-T / DVB-H and ATSC transmitting equipment to cover the following applications:

DVB-T / DVB-H transmitter with standard ASI signal as input
ATSC transmitter with SMPTE 310M interface
DVB-T retransmitter for rebroadcasting an off-air signal

The family is designed as a flexible and compact system consisting of different modules that can be selected and interconnected in accordance with the required application and output power. The main building blocks are the following:

R&S^®Sx800 DVB-T / DVB-H or ATSC exciter
Amplifiers R&S^®VH6xxx with integrated power supply (12 W/18 W to 100 W/130 W DVB/ATSC output power)
R&S^®NetCCU®800 as an expanded system controller for standby configurations and/or as a network-oriented remote control unit for SNMP and web

Since the exciter stage is equipped with an amplifier control unit, single transmitters up to 100 W DVB-T / DVB-H (130 W ATSC) are available as standalone systems. This means that only two modules, exciter and amplifier, are required in this case. All operation-relevant interfaces are fully integrated into the units. Additional components to be built into a rack are required only for standby systems or if several amplifiers are combined to boost output power. Nineteen-inch racks of 12, 21 and 42 height units are available.

Features & Benefits

Power amplifier

The R&S^® SV8000 UHF TRANSMITTER FAMILY UHF Transmitter Family is built on single power amplifier modules of 12/25/50/100 W for DVB-T / DVB-H or 18/35/70/130 W for ATSC. All amplifiers are broadband in the 470 MHz to 862 MHz range. Both the power supply and the cooling system are integrated into the amplifiers, thus requiring no peripherals. This enables flexible installation in a standard 19-inch rack or even operation without any rack at all.
R&S®SX800 TV Exciter
- Integrated digital linear and nonlinear precorrection
- Digital signal processing for analog and digital TV
- Digital TV
  - DVB-T / DVB-H, MediaFLO^™, ISDB-T, ISDB-T_B, DTMB, ATSC, ATSC Mobile DTV
  - All ASI modes
  - SMPTE 310 M
  - Suitable for single-frequency networks (SFN) and multifrequency networks (MFN)
  - Hierarchical modulation (DVB-T / DVB-H)
  - Seamless input switching
  - MIP monitoring
  - Automatic/adaptive precorrection (optional)
R&S®NetCCU800 Transmitter control unit

The innovative R&S^®NetCCU800 handles both internal and external communications and provides all control functions. Featuring only two height units, it operates as a transmitter control unit plus an IP interface. The R&S^®NETCCU800 clearly shows the current status of the transmitter system on a color display. All transmitter and/or amplifier parameters required for diagnostics can be retrieved locally as well as remotely from anywhere in the world via a standard (IP) protocol and standard software (web/SNMP browser). This enables the status of unattended transmitter sites to be accurately evaluated, and any servicing that may be needed to be optimally prepared. This data can also be retrieved via the local IP interface of the R&S^®NETCCU800.
