Brilliant efficiency Superior efficiency due to unique system design The transmitter families lead the market for solid-state TV transmitters, attaining efficiency values of up to 42 % in the UHF range and up to 50 % in the VHF range, including the cooling system. This level of performance is the result of constant innovation at Rohde & Schwarz, based on many years of experience in the development of solidstate, liquid-cooled transmitters and pioneering implementation of Doherty technology. The R&S THU9/R&S THV9 transmitter families have been designed with high efficiency in mind. The power combiner, harmonics filter and RF rigid line feature minimum attenuation. Together with the other components, they decisively contribute to the high efficiency of the entire transmitter system.

Innovative amplifier with high efficiency Thanks to the new Doherty amplifier technology, the R&S THU9/R&S THV9 transmitters reach new highs in efficiency. With 42 % for UHF and up to 50 % for VHF, the transmitters set new standards in their class. Other transmitters on the market have an average efficiency of approx. 20 %. Compared with this figure, energy costs can be reduced by almost half using the R&S THU9/R&S THV9. Even in normal mode, the R&S THU9/R&S THV9 transmitters provide outstanding energy efficiency of up to 30 % for UHF and up to 33 % for VHF including the cooling system. In normal mode, each UHF amplifier delivers an output power of 1.35 kw for COFDM standards (1.7 kw for ATSC and 2.8 kw for ATV). UHF amplifiers in Doherty mode provide an output power of 1.2 kw for DTV. VHF amplifiers reach an output power of 1.35 kw for digital standards both in Doherty and normal mode. For ATV, VHF amplifiers provide an output power of 2.7 kw in normal mode. In the Doherty concept, signal amplification is divided into two paths. The main amplifier amplifies only the average signal. This has the advantage that no power reserves for peak signals are required in this path. The peak amplifier only needs to be put into operation in the event of signal power peaks, helping to save energy costs. The implementation of the intelligent multiband Doherty technology from Rohde & Schwarz allows an amplifier to be used over the entire frequency band with few modifications. The power transistors use sophisticated 50 V LDMOS technology. The close cooperation between Rohde & Schwarz and the semiconductor manufacturer and the optimal matching of the transistors result in excellent efficiency and long-term stability of the amplifier board. The optimized design of the aluminum heat sink in the amplifier ensures that all transistors operate at the same temperature and eliminates the need for separate fans. Three efficient, integrated power supplies deliver power for the transistors. Thanks to the integrated power supply redundancy, Doherty amplifiers remain in operation at full output power even if one of the power supplies fails. Voltage regulation and crest factor reduction In addition to optimizing system design, Rohde & Schwarz included two other innovative approaches in its technology mix to significantly improve efficiency. The resulting power efficiency exceeds the performance of conventional solid-state technologies. The unique voltage regulation circuit offered by Rohde & Schwarz yields a major increase in efficiency. The regulation mechanism in the transmitter control unit allows transmitter efficiency to be optimized for all digital standards. The signal decoupled by the directional coupler at the transmitter output is routed back to the R&S TCE900 exciter and analyzed. At the same time, the power supplies in the amplifiers iteratively adjust the supply voltage for the power transistors. This voltage regulation circuit significantly improves efficiency, especially when a transmitter is operated at reduced output power. Vsupply Crest factor reduction Without crest factor reduction With crest factor reduction Reduced voltage supply higher efficiency 6 THU9-THV9_bro_en_5214-5990-12_v0503.indd 6 12.04.2016 14:12:29

With the R&S TCE900 exciter, Rohde & Schwarz is the first manufacturer to offer a reduction of the crest factor for all COFDM standards. The crest factor is reduced to 8 db without any negative impact on MER, effectively improving the total transmitter efficiency. For DVB-T2, the tone reservation method defined in the standard can alternatively be used to reduce the crest factor. The heat exchangers are equipped with two ultramodern fans that have extremely low-noise blades and are highly efficient due to the use of electronically commutated (EC) technology in the motors. The R&S TCE900 transmitter control unit adjusts the fan speed according to the temperature measured at the input of the transmitter rack, saving still more energy. Efficient liquid cooling system The cooling system is another key factor for the efficiency of the entire system, which is why it has been optimized throughout. The cooling system of the R&S THU9/R&S THV9 is equipped with efficient field-proven components. The pump rack contains two pump modules that operate in active standby to ensure high system availability. The necessary coolant flow is calculated based on the system configuration and the number of amplifiers. The rotational speed of the pumps is adapted to the coolant flow to save energy and extend transmitter life. Liquid cooling system Rohde & Schwarz R&S THU9/R&S THV9 Liquid-cooled transmitter families 7 THU9-THV9_bro_en_5214-5990-12_v0503.indd 7 12.04.2016 14:12:30

Scalable and flexible system configuration This approach saves the operator real money because up to four transmitters can be installed in one rack. An R&S TCE900 system control unit monitors the transmitters and establishes a connection to the monitoring room via web interface or SNMP. It also controls the central cooling system with pump unit and heat exchanger. Depending on requirements, the transmitters can be configured with a single drive or a dual drive. MultiTX system with multiple transmitters and configurations in a single rack Up to now, multitransmitter systems in a single rack have only been available for air-cooled transmitters. Rohde & Schwarz has now implemented this MultiTX system concept for the R&S THU9/R&S THV9 transmitter families of liquid-cooled high-power transmitters. N+1 configurations can also be implemented in a single rack. Multitransmitter systems are available for all offered transmission standards and with different output power ratings in transmitter configurations with up to six amplifiers. MultiTX opens up totally new dimensions in flexibility and scalability at moderate cost. If the transmitter site is to be expanded later, the rack can be ordered with the necessary additional RF components such as splitters Example of a MultiTX system with three 5.2 kw DVB-T transmitters in a single rack TCE900 transmitter control unit TS Heat exchanger Pump unit TCE900 exciter A RF TS TCE900 exciter B RF TS TCE900 exciter A RF TS TCE900 exciter B RF TS TCE900 exciter A RF TCE900 exciter B RF TS 5.2 kw RF 5.2 kw RF 5.2 kw RF 3 4 PH901 amplifiers 8 THU9-THV9_bro_en_5214-5990-12_v0503.indd 8 12.04.2016 14:12:30

and combiners. All that is then needed to put the transmitter multiplex into operation is to simply install the additional exciters and amplifiers. System expansion poses no problem at all because the amplifiers feature practice- proven self-engaging connectors, and the exciters and system components on the top of the rack are easy to access. Thanks to the new design, this high-power multitransmitter system meets the high availability requirements. Separate AC supply inlets provide power autonomy for each single transmitter. The robust cooling system is able to handle environmental influences such as overvoltage. Separate data and AC supply lines for each pump module and each fan on the heat exchanger as well as multistage lightning and overvoltage protection circuits provide optimal protection for the system. R&S TCE900 a multitalent as transmitter control unit or exciter The R&S THU9/R&S THV9 transmitter families are based on the new R&S TCE900 platform. By inserting specific plug-in boards, the base unit can be configured as a transmitter control unit or as an exciter. This results in greater flexibility for network operators. To reconfigure the R&S TCE900 on site for another application, the user simply needs to exchange the modules. The platform also offers free option slots for expanding its functionality (e.g. by adding satellite receivers). Thanks to the system s modularity, both DAB and TV network operators can look forward to cost savings since they will require fewer spare parts. When configured as a transmitter or system control unit, the R&S TCE900 ensures smooth operation of the transmitter system. The R&S TCE900 connects to the different system components via two plug-in boards: The cooling interface connects the pump unit, the heat exchanger and various sensors, and the transmitter interface connects the power distribution and the exciters. The control unit uses the connected exciters to communicate with the amplifiers, the directional coupler and other system modules via CAN bus. All transmission standards are available as software options for easy retrofitting. It is therefore no problem to install multiple standards in one exciter (e.g. DVB-T and DVB-T2). In addition to the DTV standards, the R&S TCE900 also supports the analog standards. Due to the system s modularity, only one additional interface board with the analog input interfaces needs to be inserted. A GPS receiver is already integrated and can be activated via option key. Simple switchover from analog to digital TV Many operators switch over from analog transmission to digital TV. The R&S THU9/R&S THV9 transmitters facilitate this transition. When the exciter is fed with both analog and digital input signals, switchover can take place locally (by pressing a key), r emotely or even timed. IP transport stream feed to reduce infrastructure costs Due to its cost-effectiveness, IP technology is also gaining ground in broadcast networks. For all digital standards, the R&S TCE900 exciter offers the option to feed two transport streams redundantly via Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. External IP-to-ASI gateways are no longer required. Because it is integrated in the transmitter control unit, this solution saves money and space and simplifies feed monitoring. Integrated satellite receiver for fewer components in the rack A module with two satellite receivers makes it possible to receive up to two DVB-S/DVB-S2 satellite streams without additional external equipment. This saves space in the rack and eliminates investment costs for additional instruments. Encoded streams can be decoded via the two integrated common interface slots. Streams can also be processed outside the transmitter by feeding them to third-party instruments via the integrated IP output or ASI output and returning them via the IP and ASI inputs. In the exciter configuration, a coder board for baseband processing and an RF board for high-frequency modulation are added to the R&S TCE900 base unit. The exciter is extremely versatile and can handle the DVB-T, DVB-T2, ISDB-T/ISDB TB, DTMB and ATSC digital TV standards as well as the DVB-H and ATSC M obile DTV standards for mobile TV. Equipped with the appropriate coder board, the exciter is ideal for the DAB/DAB+ digital audio broadcast standards and T-DMB Mobile TV applications.

Multifaceted, compact design Highest power density on the market Apart from energy costs, infrastructure accounts for the majority of costs incurred during the entire lifecycle of a transmitter system. The R&S THU9/R&S THV9 offer the highest power density on the market for solid-state transmitters. Up to twelve amplifiers can be accommodated in a single transmitter rack. This configuration allows an output power of up to 15 kw per rack for the COFDM standards, up to 18.5 kw for ATSC and up to 30 kw for analog TV. Even more space was saved by integrating f urther functionalities into the exciter. The R&S TCE900, for example, offers a GPS receiver and IP interfaces as software options, eliminating the need for external equipment. Highest power density per transmitter rack COFDM TV 15.0 kw ATV 30.0 kw ATSC 18.5 kw DAB 15.0 kw MultiTX sytem with four 3.9 kw transmitters in a single rack MultiTX system with up to four transmitters per rack The MultiTX concept described above utilizes the high power density of the amplifiers to integrate multiple transmitters into one rack. Depending on the number of amplifiers per transmitter, a rack can hold up to four transmitters. All other transmitters on the market require much more floor space for such a configuration. The decisively smaller footprint of the Rohde & Schwarz solution allows the operator to significantly reduce site rental costs. Compared with conventional couplers, the horizontally arranged power combiner with built-in coolant distribution saves so much space that four RF rigid lines can be installed. In this way, a rack can accommodate e.g. four transmitters with 3.9 kw output power or three transmitters with 5.2 kw output power. The transmitter control unit and exciters also require very little space. Up to seven R&S TCE900 units can be installed in the mounting frame on the top of the transmitter. The vertical arrangement of the equipment, with all interfaces on the top of the transmitter, makes installation and access easy. The innovative MultiTX design can even increase the compactness of entire N+1 transmitter systems. One rack can accommodate a 3+1 configuration maximally. To save space, the RF coaxial switches are installed directly on the top of the transmitter. 10 THU9-THV9_bro_en_5214-5990-12_v0503.indd 10 12.04.2016 14:12:33

All-in-one transmitter with built-in pump unit and bandpass filter The high power density also has advantages for all-inone configurations. For UHF transmitters with up to four amplifiers, both the pump unit and a six-cavity bandpass filter can be integrated into the rack. This approach also reduces the space required for a single transmitter. The hydraulic components of the pump are installed in the rear part of the transmitter rack and can easily be accessed via the rear door. Space-saving, flexible liquid cooling system All-in-one system in a single rack The external cooling system also requires less space than comparable systems. With its compact hydraulic block, the pump unit fits into a minimum of space. The smart frame design helps to ensure installation flexibility. The pump can be installed on the floor (standard solution) or on the wall. Two pumps can also be stacked on one another. The practice-proven design of the heat exchangers was also improved. Changing the arrangement of the robust stainless-steel registers made the heat exchangers even more compact. Depending on the site constraints, the heat exchangers can be installed vertically or horizontally. The transmitter s high efficiency ensures low power dissipation, further reducing the size of the heat exchangers. 2+1 system, 5.2 kw each, in a single rack Rohde & Schwarz R&S THU9/R&S THV9 Liquid-cooled transmitter families 11 THU9-THV9_bro_en_5214-5990-12_v0503.indd 11 12.04.2016 14:12:38

Simple operation for fast results Ergonomic, user-friendly operating unit The R&S TDU900 was designed with easy access, operating convenience and ergonomics in mind. The retractable display is installed above the amplifiers and automatically slides out when the user gives it a slight push. The user can then conveniently turn the display to the desired position to operate the transmitter while standing up or sitting down. The seven-inch display unit has a touchscreen and LEDs that indicate the system status. An Ethernet port is provided for exchanging configuration data. Simplified navigation with device-oriented views The GUI is straightforward and makes it possible to check the system status at a glance. The transmitter system s structure is displayed graphically; touching the transmitter components on the touchscreen provides direct access to the related parameters. The left-hand side of the screen permanently displays frequently required central functions. Using these softkeys, it is possible to check the logbook and switch between local and remote control. Activating the help function gives access to additional information about the specific components.

It is possible to switch between different user profiles and between device and task-oriented views. The screen content on the right-hand side changes according to the selected components. The system navigation path at the bottom of the screen allows the user to quickly change from one parameter to another. When accessing the transmitter via web interface, the same user interface appears in the web browser. Task-oriented menus for fast training of operating personnel Depending on the system status, the operator must perform different tasks on the transmitter, ranging from simple monitoring tasks to complex commissioning procedures. The task-oriented menu view adapts the user interface to the different requirements. The tasks and their individual steps are clearly displayed on the GUI so that they can be accomplished in a minimum of time. When putting the transmitter into operation, for example, the operator is guided through the configuration of the different devices and given help when entering parameters and adapting settings.
