Product Description

The DTX 1200U is a compact, solid-state transmitter, designed for digital terrestrial television broadcasting over a UHF frequency range of 470 MHz to 860 MHz.

Using the latest technology, the DTX 1200U converts an input transport stream (MPEG-2, CMMB Multiplex or ISDB-T/TB Multiplex) to a COFDM or 8VSB modulated RF signal.  UBS has developed a Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) process that allowing the Universal Modulator board to provide the amplifier portion of the transmitter with an RF signal.

The modulator board RF output is amplified to a digital average output power level of 120 Watts by a highly efficient power amplifier, built using LDMOS transistor technology.  The power level stability at the transmitter’s RF output is maintained by an internal automatic level control loop.

The PA employs its own microcontroller, which monitors the operation parameters of the PA, provides protection against abnormal operation conditions and communicates with the system controller.

The Adaptive Pre-corrector is a superior pre-distortion solution that compensates for RF Power Amplifier non-linearities including AM/AM and AM/PM distortion and protects against IMD and spectral regrowth while maximizing EVM performance. The manual Linear and Non-linear Digital Pre-correctors can also be used to maximize transmitter performance. With the addition of an integrated DVB-S/S2 Receiver, the DTX 2500U can be configured as a terrestrial repeater.  The input data stream is received and re-broadcast as a COFDM or 8VSB waveform.

The transmitter’s operational parameters are monitored and controlled by an embedded system controller that can be accessed from the front panel touch screen LCD or by using one of the remote control interfaces (Ethernet, SNMP, USB or RS232). Optionally, the DTX 1200U RS232 interface can be dedicated for communication with a 3rd party UPS. In this case, the transmitter is configured with an extra set of SNMP parameters and will actively monitor the UPS.

All of the transmitter’s components are enclosed in a standard 19” rack mount chassis, occupying only 3 “RU” of cabinet space.  The transmitter is forced air cooled using two compact high performance fans, which are installed on the transmitter enclosure front panel.
