R&S®NV8300 UHF Transmitter Family

Air-cooled medium-power transmitters for digital TV

Brief Description

Standardized design for analog and digital TV

The new air-cooled R&S®NH8300/R&S®NV8300 family of transmitters has been designed for analog TV standards (B/G, K, M/N, I), color coding standards (SECAM, PAL, NTSC) and sound coding standards (FM mono, dual-sound/stereo IRT and NICAM) as well as for digital TV standards (DVB‑T, DVB-T2, DVB-H, ISDB-T, ISDB-TB, MediaFLO, ATSC, ATSC Mobile DTV). LDMOS transistorbased amplifiers ensure high output power while requiring only minimum space.

All components are fully broadband from 470 MHz to 862 MHz (UHF bands IV/V) for both the analogand digital standards. The available output power ranges from 750 W to 2.8 kW for analog TV (combined) and from 300 W to 1.8 kW (DVB-T, DVB-T2, DVB-H, ISDB-T, ISDB‑TB, MediaFLO) as well as from 450 W to 1.8 kW (ATSC, ATSC Mobile DTV) for digital TV.

The transmitters include the following components:

  • Exciter
  • Power amplifier(s)
  • Transmitter control unit
  • Transmitter rack with cooling system

The R&S®NH8300/R&S®NV8300 family of UHF transmittersis based on a design concept that is common to all Rohde & Schwarz sound and TV transmitters of the R&S®Nx8000 family. This means that the transmitter control unit and the bus system for internal and external communications are identical throughout.
