Principle of Operation
The TAV-2000 power amplifier supplies a 2000-watt peak video signal with 10% aural power on any
of the VHF television channels 2 through 13. Please note that channel selection must be made at
time of order, as the transmitter or translator is calibrated and tested to the channel requested and
is not field tuneable. The TAV-2000 power amplifier is a modular solid-state 2000-watt broadcast
amplifier utilizing readily available RF components wherever possible, thus enhancing the
serviceability of the equipment. The TAV-2000 features ultra linear amplification and individual
channel RF output bandpass filtering. The amplifier modules are stable for high reliability and long
service life.
