Transmitter Power Monitor (TPM)

The Transmitter Power Monitor (TPM) is the latest broadcast solution from Bird. The TPM was created in response to the broadcast industry's imminent changeover from analog to digital signals. Calibrated coupling ports and accurate power measurement combined in the same unit passes savings of money and space on to you. Using state of the art techniques, the TPM is the first in-situ power solution that can be calibrated in-line and on site. This unprecedented characteristic helps minimize downtime and optimize on-air time. In addition, a simplified interface allows for a high level of customization and integration that any system could appreciate.

The TPM measures true average power, both forward and reflected, with a /-5 percent of reading accuracy. Ideally suited for digitally modulated applications, it handles a peak-to-average ratio up to 10 dB. Its integrated non-directional coupler allows for spectral analysis of the signal, while the DB9 output allows for a wide variety of interface options. An 8-channel meter panel, capable of displaying forward and reflected power at various system measurement points, is also available.

Features

  • DB9 output provides a linear DC voltage output from 0 to 4 volts allowing for a wide variety of interface options
  • In-line calibration capability allows for greater accuracy in a single application (with an accurate power reference)
  • Integrated non-directional coupler allows for spectral analysis of the signal in minimal space requirements.
  • 7/8”, 1 5/8”, and 3 1/8”, 50 ohm lines available for FM, VHF, and UHF broadcast frequencies
