The Eddystone S7605C is a 5kW FM transmitter known for its modular architecture and efficiency. Here are the key features and specifications:
Features:
- Modular Design: Utilizes new higher efficiency 300W hot-pluggable Power Amplifier modules, allowing for easy removal with minimal reduction in output power.
- Efficient Power Supplies: Incorporates hot-pluggable switched mode power supplies (SMPSU) for efficient operation and ease of servicing.
- N Way RF Power Combining System: Uses Eddystone’s patented N way combiner system for enhanced performance and reliability.
- Compliance: Fully compliant with ETS 300 384 specification for FM transmitters.
- System Flexibility: Easily configurable into various system architectures to suit different broadcasting needs.
- Remote Control and Monitoring: Comprehensive remote control and monitoring facilities for efficient operation and maintenance.
- LCD Display: Equipped with an LCD display for easy local monitoring.
System Overview:
- Drive Input: Input is fed to an internal 16-way splitter providing the PA module input drive.
- Power Amplifiers (E2021): Each E2021 Power amplifier uses dual packaged MOSFETs mounted on a substantial heatsink assembly. Internal control and self-protection mechanisms are integrated into each module.
- Combining System: Outputs from the power modules are combined via the N-way combiner before being fed to the output coupler and harmonic filter.
- Cooling: Self-contained redundant cooling fans are mounted on the rear of the transmitter. Ducting options are available, and bespoke cooling systems can be provided for special requirements.
