Maxiva™ UAX/UAXT Compact
Low-Power UHF Transmitter / Transposer / Gap Filler
OVERVIEW
The Maxiva UAX/UAXT Compact family of UHF solid-state transmitters, transposers/translators and gap fillers builds on the proven foundation of GatesAir low-power systems and PowerSmart® technology. It provides today’s digital broadcaster with a suite of compatible products to accommodate any coverage application, along with unmatched performance, reliability and quality. The Maxiva UAX/UAXT Compact extends the capabilities of the Maxiva series, providing one family of transmitters capable of satisfying any coverage architecture. The Maxiva UAX/UAXT Compact provides pre-filter power levels from 5 to 125W in a compact, space-saving 2RU package.
Designed for digital broadcasting, the Maxiva UAX/UAXT Compact is a platform available in transmitter, transposer or SFN gap filler configurations for DVB-T/H, DVB-T2, ATSC, ATSC-MDTV, ISDB-Tb, CMMB and CTTB networks. The Maxiva UAX Compact is ideal for extending market coverage and filling in coverage gaps in challenging situations, including busy urban areas that require greater building penetration.
The Maxiva UAX/UAXT Compact transmitters maintain the Maxiva M2X™ exciter platform, providing broadcasters the highest level of performance and allowing fast setup time with Real Time Adaptive Correction (RTAC™). The shared modulation approach provides a common interface for Maxiva users, reducing training requirements.
The Compact Class transposers/translators provide efficient and reliable re-broadcast of the received signal in a small and robust package. The gap filler configuration adds a powerful echo cancellation algorithm to deliver on-channel broadcast. This combination of products enables broadcasters to address any network coverage need.
