2.2 System Description
The STRATA TX System is a highly reliable, flexible, and
compact portable microwave transmitter system ideal for tripod,
airborne, or mobile installations. A typical STRATA TX System is
composed of the Transmitter Unit (TXU) and the Transmitter
Control Unit (TCU), as shown in Figure 2-1 on page 2-2. This
modular architecture allows you the maximum flexibility in
configuration, siting, and operation.
The STRATA TX System key features are:
• Analog, Digital, or Analog/Digital Switchable
• MPEG Encoding (4:2:0, 4:2:2)
• COFDM Modulation with Forward Error Correction and
Selectable Guard Band Interval
• Digital Modulation for QPSK, 16 QAM, and 64 QAM
• NTSC or PAL Modulation with Audio (4 mono or 2 stereo)
• Tripod, Half Rack, or Full Rack Mounts
• Front Panel Local Control
• Remote Control
• Bands from 3.4 to 13.25 GHz
