Rohde & Schwarz is set to present the latest advancements in television and radio transmission at IBC2024.
The company will highlight innovative designs that enhance transmitter efficiency, allowing broadcast network operators to explore new business opportunities and improve sustainability.
R&S TH1 Liquid-Cooled High-Power Transmitter
The R&S TH1 liquid-cooled high-power transmitter offers flexibility to adapt to evolving requirements and operational models. This advanced transmitter features an improved amplifier design, resulting in a 15% reduction in power consumption compared to current designs. The liquid cooling system disperses over 90% of generated heat to the outside atmosphere, reducing energy requirements and total cost of ownership. Additionally, the R&S TH1 supports terrestrial transmission via 5G Broadcast to mobile devices, enabling new use cases such as live and venue casting, data delivery to IoT, and automotive industry applications.
DAB+ Transmitters and Efficiency Tools
Rohde & Schwarz has been a leader in DAB+ technology since the early 1990s, with thousands of transmitters serving millions across Europe. The THV9evo, TMV9evo, and TLV9 DAB+ transmitters deliver excellent signal quality and achieve 50% transmitter efficiency, reducing operational costs. At IBC2024, the company will introduce a DAB+ efficiency calculator, an interactive tool that allows users to input their data and simulate real-time efficiency calculations.
Commitment to Innovation and Sustainability
Steven Edwards, Vice President of Broadcast Distribution, emphasized the company’s commitment to innovation and sustainability. He noted that Rohde & Schwarz is trusted in the broadcast industry for its technological leadership in terrestrial, 5G Broadcast, and DAB+. At IBC2024, the company will host presentation sessions with partners, building on the success of their 5G Broadcast sessions from the previous year.
Satellite and Ground Station Solutions
Rohde & Schwarz will also present advanced solutions for satellite and ground station operators. The compact R&S PKU100 Satellite Uplink Amplifier for Ku band offers high spectrum purity and power efficiency, enabling up to 50% energy savings for 400W and 750W output power. The R&S GSACSM Realtime Satellite Monitoring solution allows operators to implement remote monitoring use cases, such as interference identification and SatCom transponder analysis, in real-time using multiple sensors.
