4.2 Block Diagram Descriptions
See Section 1, Introduction, in this manual for a basic transmitter overview and block
diagram descriptions. Figure 4-1 gives a simplified block diagram. There is also a more
detailed overall transmitter block diagram at the front of the schematic package that
came with the transmitter. As a standard practice, the first page of a PC (printed circuit)
board schematic is also a block diagram of that board. Table 4-1 gives the basic Maxiva
model numbers and configurations.Using the model ULX-2300** as an example, the
model number breaks down as follows.
• U stands for UHF band.
• L stands for Liquid Cooled.
• X stands for Transmitter.
• 2300 stands for 2300 watts average power at the transmitter output before the band
pass filter.
• ** stands for the type of modulation. See Table 2-1 on page 2-1
