FMT 5.0 87.5-108MHz 150W FM Transmitter FMT5-150H

Overview

This transmitter employs an integrated design, incorporating the exciter, poweramplifier, output filter, and switching power supply into a standard 1U 19‑inch rack‑mount chassis. This compact and efficient layout reduces internal cabling, contributes to system efficiency, and ensures reliable, friendly operation.

Key Features

• Digital LCD panel –Intuitive single-knob control for all settings.
  
• Convenient System Monitoring – The display shows all key operating parameters, including frequency,stereo/mono mode, volume, amplifier MOSFET temperature, audio VU meter,forward/reflected power, modulation mode and pre‑emphasis status.
• Standardized Mechanical Design – 1U 19‑inch aluminum alloy enclosure provides structural strength and efficient heat dissipation.
• Stable Frequency Generation – A high‑precision PLL system maintains long‑term frequency stability with no drift.
• Integrated Stereo Encoder – Built‑in high‑quality stereo encoder for great audio performance.
• Advanced Power Control – Precise AGC balancing allows output power adjustment from 0% to 100% and maintains the set level under varying input.
• External Signal Support – Compatible with externally modulated RDS or SCA inputs.
• Digital Audio Input – Support AES/EBU digital input with 24‑bit/192 kHz sampling.
• Rugged RF Amplification – LDMOS‑based power amplifier sustains load mismatch up to 65:1 VSWR at 5 dB compression point.
