Translators

A translator is a transmitter used in terrestrial-fed networks.

 

Traditionally, network engineers have relied on multiple steps and multiple pieces of equipment to accomplish the task.  Others have integrated the translator function (receiver and exciter) to feed an amplifier.  Crown, on the other hand, starts with an integrated transmitter and adds a solid-state Receiver Module to form the ideal translator.

 

This option enables RF in and RF out on any Crown FM transmitter.  In addition, the module supplies a composite output to the RF exciter portion of the transmitter.  From here, the signal is brought to full power by the built-in power amplifier for retransmission.

 

The Receiver Module has been specifically designed to handle SCA channel output up to 100 kHz for audio and high-speed data.  FSK ID programming is built in to ensure compliance with regulations regarding the on-air identification of translators.  FSK chips are reprogrammable (in the event you need to change the location of the translator).

 

The modular nature of Crown transmitters allows you the flexibility to change configurations as well.  Should you need to move to a satellite-fed network, for example, a transmitter upgrade can get you there.
