Emcee LPV Series Transmitters

The new EMCEE LPV SeriesTM represents the highest evolution in a low power VHF triple conversion design transmitter or translator using LDMOS technology. Inherently low distortion minimizes the need for extensive corrective circuitry and provides for excellent performance in lower power digital and analog applications. Broadband circuitry complemented by modular packaging enables simplified maintenance with reduced spare requirements and at the same time provides a path for channel flexibility.

A new generation, EMCEE designed, low phase-noise synthesizer/local oscillator chain provides built-in channel agility together with GPS/NAVSTAR or LORAN synchronizing capability for high precision frequency control and co-channel interference reduction. The new chassis design incorporates the capability to increase output power by adding power blocks to the chassis. No need to replace the transmitter for channel changes or power increases, the flexibility is designed in, eliminating the need for additional chassis or rack space.

The Class A amplifier design incorporates soft-fail technology, so one failed amplifier does not constitute a service outage. Hot-swappable plug-in power supplies provide for simple change out and optional N+1 redundancy. Front panel monitoring of all internal voltages and forward and reflected power is provided in an easy to read LCD display. Remote control interfacing for critical transmitter functions and monitoring is available via the rear chassis connections (optional). The LPV Series is the perfect choice for transition into digital service and for low power analog.
