50W UHF PA 
 
 
Model No.: TW/UHFPA/50W
 
100W UHF POWER AMPLIFER
 
The 50W UHF Power Amplifier subsystem described in this 10 mW (+10 dBm) sync peak RF input (From selected Exciter) is amplified to 100W sync peak power at antenna port, by two Class AB solid state 50W Power Amplifiers in parallel.

These power amplifiers have high gain and can be operated in any of the UHF band III TV channel, provided used as part of system is aligned to the corresponding channel.

Two 50W power amplifiers along with combiner forms a 100W Power Amplifier sub-system.

The 50W Power Amplifier sub-system is mounted in a single rack and consists of mainly of, Two 50W Power Amplifiers in each power amplifier.

The Amplifiers are powered from +28V DC Power.

The subsystem is configured for operation with high reliability, low MTTR, and state-of-the-art components. Visual indication, metering and monitoring points are provided for ease of operation and high quality picture transmission. Automatic level control ensures stable power output, and absorbs gain variation of power amplifiers.
 
 50W POWER AMPLIFIER (CLASS-AB)
 
50W power amplifier consists of the
  • 70W power amplifier pallet
  • 1 Nos. circulator
  • Directional coupler
  • Monitoring card
70W AMPLIFIER PALLET
 
This amplifier is Class AB and incorporates micro strip technology and push-pull MOSFET to enhance ruggedness and reliability. This Amplifier provides 70W sync peak output power. Data sheet is encl. For the details.

Such 2 nos. of 70W power amplifier are combined and we can get the 100W sync peak power from the amplifier.

3Db, 90 degree in phase Divider and combiner are wide band through out the uhf frequency band.

A circulator is installed in each path of the 70W Pas to protect the Reflection from the combiner side.

This coupler is used for sensing output power of PA and is given to detect the levels of Forward and Reflected power in Monitor Board. The distinct feature is that it has got repeatability built in the design. It has coupling of 32dB to 34dB in UHF Band.

In monitoring card following controls and monitoring points are available.
 
  • Forward power control
  • Reflected power control
  • Power amplifier heat sink temperature.
  • Metering the Forward and reflected power
