Maxiva™ UAXTE with PowerSmart® Plus
High-Efficiency UHF Air-Cooled TV Transmitter
OVERVIEW
The Maxiva UAXTE is a compact air-cooled TV transmitter that provides over the air delivery in the UHF spectrum. Built on GatesAir’s groundbreaking PowerSmart Plus architecture, the Maxiva UAXTE provides an energy-efficient, broadband solution to reliably deliver rich, high-quality multiformat content to viewers at home or on the move.
Now with Gen 2 Architecture • Optimized for International Markets
The Maxiva UAXTE utilizes the latest generation 50 volt LDMOS amplifier devices, new compact high-efficiency power supplies and the Maxiva Compact series exciter/driver along with real-time adaptive correction (RTAC) for outstanding signal performance. The Maxiva UAXTE power amplifiers have been optimized to provide the best possible performance and efficiency for both ATSC 1.0 and ATSC 3.0. The UAXTE transmitter is rated for identical average power levels for both modulations, assuring a simple and cost-effective upgrade path for future ATSC 3.0 operation. The modular design further simplifies installation and reduces maintenance costs, dramatically lowering the total cost of ownership over the transmitters life-cycle.
