Advanced RF Series RF 201: Module 5: Television Transmitters

Instructional Method: Available ON DEMAND

Overview

This webinar will cover the basics of today’s television transmitters. The focus will be on digital transmitters with the digital age essentially mature. While many transmitters deployed in the digital conversion were solid state, many were constructed with inductive output tubes (IOTs). Several of the IOTs are now being replaced due to repack but several remain in service. We’ll cover both solid state and IOT transmitters, their key building blocks and their key items of maintenance.
