High-Power Solid-State Performance and Broadcast Reliability
Broadcast Electronics AM 10A – 10 kW Solid-State AM Transmitter delivers exceptional high-power performance, proven reliability, and excellent efficiency for major AM broadcast operations. Designed for continuous 24/7 service, the AM 10A combines rugged solid-state architecture with precision DSP audio processing to provide clean, stable 10 kW RF output with superb linearity.
High-Efficiency, Modular Design
The AM 10A uses modular MOSFET power amplifiers and redundant power supplies to achieve AC-to-RF efficiency in excess of 80%. This efficient architecture reduces operating costs and heat dissipation while maintaining consistent output power and reliability under heavy load.
DSP Audio Precision
An integrated DSP modulator ensures precise carrier and sideband control, delivering low distortion and consistent audio fidelity across the entire AM band. The transmitter meets stringent international emission standards and provides excellent spectral purity for interference-free broadcasting.
Advanced Control and Remote Monitoring
Local management is via the front-panel LCD and intuitive menu system. Remote telemetry and control options include TCP/IP, SNMP and RS-232, enabling centralised monitoring, alarm reporting, and firmware updates. Engineers can view forward/reflected power, PA current, and temperature in real time.
Built for Continuous Operation
Robust protections for VSWR, over-temperature, and over-current, combined with temperature-regulated cooling and field-replaceable modules, ensure minimal downtime and fast on-site servicing. The AM 10A is engineered for broadcasters that require dependable, long-term performance from their high-power transmission systems.
