DTV Frequency Shift Repeater
MODEL: RPT3A5
The DTV Frequency Shift Repeater (FSR) is designed to solve problems of weak mobile signal, which can expand more coverage than RF repeater and reduce investment for the areas where fiber optic cable is not available.
The repeater is working as a relay and frequency converter between the TV transmitter and receivers during the broadcasting of digital TV signal. It receives low-power TV signal from the TV transmitter via the Donor Antenna, then converts it to specified frequency, and retransmits it via the Coverage Antenna to the weak/blind coverage area. The FSR can avoid self-oscillation which will be easily caused by the RF repeater.

Specifications
Features
- Aluminum-alloy casing with IP65 protection has high resistance to dust, water and corroding;
- Signal of up to 4 channels can be shifted and amplified simultaneously;
- Linear power amplifier with high gain and low noise is adopted;
- Filter with high selectivity and low insertion loss eliminates out-of-band interference;
- Best solution to eliminate self-oscillation problem caused by RF repeater;
- Omni-directional coverage antenna can be adopted for wider coverage range and easier choice of installation site;
- RS-232 ports provide links to a notebook for local supervision and to the built-in wireless modem to communicate with the NMS (Network Management System) that can remotely supervise repeater’s working status and download operational parameters to the repeater.
Application
To expand signal coverage or fill signal blind area where digital TV signal is weak or unavailable.
- Outdoor: Airports, tourism regions, golf courses, tunnels, factories, mining districts, villages, highways…
- Indoor: Hotels, exhibition centers, basements, shopping malls, offices, parking lots, …
The DTV FSR is mainly applicable to such case:
- Remote suburb area or village where DTV spectrum deployment is clear and flexible.
In comparison with RFR (RF repeater) and FOR (fiber optic repeater), the FSR has the following benefits and disadvantages:
