The Palladium Pd-TX-1000, Pd-TX-2000, and Pd-TX-5000
digital video transmitters are high power COFDM
transmitters designed for longer range transmission.
The Pd-TX-1000 provides 1 Watt of RF output power,
the Pd-TX-2000 has 2 Watts, and the Pd-TX-5000
provides 5 Watts of RF output power.
All models use internal high linearity power amplifiers
to boost the output power. Users must consider
heat generation under anticipated operating environments
and ensure sufficient heatsinking and/or cooling.
A number of heat sinks are available for use with
these units.
These Palladium Transmitters are designed for
stand alone operation, off the body in surveillance
applications, unattended long range transmitters
with sufficient battery or AC power sources, and
in
larger robotic and UAV platforms.
All Palladium Series transmitters are designed
for 2.5 MHz channel spacing and use approximately
400 carriers to transmit video and two channels
of voice or data. Transmitters may be located
on adjacent channels without a guard interval.
Both versions are built out of rugged milled aluminum
housings, with threaded mounting holes incorporated
into the chassis.
