Block Diagram
The RF signal enters through the RF Input connector on the power amplifier enclosure from the
modulator or processor. It then passes through an RF attenuator to limit the output power level of
the power amplifier and to help buffer any transients that may come into the power amplifier. After
attenuation, the signal is amplified through the VHFTV-25 driver before the signal passes through
a bandpass filter. Finally, the amplified signal passes through a dual directional coupler for
monitoring purposes. After the directional coupler, the signal exits the power amplifier enclosure
before heading out to an antenna for broadcast.
