Data Sheet
Pioneer (Preliminary)
Low Power Transmitter 10W-2kW
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
conguration with parallel amplier 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.
Congurations 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.
