TMT 4/4
Microwave Links
 
 

 

Generals. The TMT 4/4 is a 4 GHz microwave link transmitter that can carry simultaneously 1 video and up to 4 high-quality 15 kHz analog audio programs. The output power is 1 W in the whole 4.2 - 4.8 GHz frequency band. The audio channels are fully compatible with the ITEL digital audio codecs TD/16 and RD/16 (2-channels).

Features. Some TMT 4/4 microwave characteristics are:
-the A/V intermodulation almost canceled;
-the capacity to accept simultaneously 1 video, up to 8 digital audio programs, and up to 4 x 4800 bps data channels;
- the easy RF frequency setting with a 125 kHz steps digital PLL. No tuning is required within 100 MHz range.

Antenna connection. ITEL parabolic antennas enable the direct connection to the microwave feeder without wave-guide losses.

Metering. A front panel digital multimeter and alarms permit to check audio and video levels, RF received signal level, PLL lock and squelch status. The equipment meets or exceeds the international standards for safety and electrical specifications.
