Where:

 

Buffalo Gap Saloon & Eatery (Upstairs)
6835 SW Macadam (at California)
Portland
503-244-7111

 

What:

 

Dave Benco, National Key Account Manager of Rohde & Schwarz, will do a presentation on their liquid-cooled solid-state THU9 UHF Transmitter Family which uses Doherty amplification.

"A hot topic these days is how to save energy (costs) and there are several viable technologies that can offer that, one of them is using the Doherty amplification in transmitters.

ATSC transmitters could be 40% efficient using this technology (basically halving power bills when compared to a classic solid state transmitter efficiency of 18...20%).

This would be applicable in both medium and high power transmitters, even to the point where it makes sense to use such solid state solutions instead of tubes!"
