LBA Introduces the Model 3024 Broadcast Power Monitor
from Kathrein Group
Greenville, NC April 17, 2009 – Kathrein Group’s latest generation broadcast power monitor is a
slim, silver-colored case stuffed with features for engineers who are tasked with keeping an eye on transmitter
power levels and efficiency. With measuring capability from 1 watt to 1 megawatt, the 3024 presents an ideal
upgrade for existing directional coupler-based RF measuring transmitter power monitors, providing PC and Internet
access and SNMP network connectivity.
Kathrein Group, the German RF equipment manufacturer with the worldwide reputation, has partnered with LBA
Technology for exclusive western hemisphere distribution of its product line, including the new power monitor. The
3024 Power Monitor will be on display in LBA’s Booth# N9115 at NAB 2009, Las Vegas Convention Center, April 20-23,
2009.
The 3024 will work with most existing directional couplers, eliminating the need to install new line
sections. Internal user-programmable software calculates the display power depending on the probe input, offset,
gain and the given value of the directional coupler. Since the setup for each probe in the system is unique, it
will even work with different brands of directional couplers.
The working end of the sleek, rack-mounted
19-inch long, 7-inch-deep 3024 is in the rear, where up to 8 probes can be connected for simultaneous power
measurements. Multiple combinations of directional couplers and compensated probes produce a matrix that will give
readings with plus or minus 5 percent accuracy. Both digital and optocoupler ports provide 16 software-assignable
relay-type contact closure outputs for alerts.
RF probes 3015 UHF and 3016 VHF can be plugged into any of
the probe connectors. Other ports on the back panel include one for a grounded high or low voltage power supply,
an Ethernet connector, one USB for attaching a memory stick for logging data and a second one for serial linkup
with a PC. The antenna monitor also provides e-mail notification of alarms.
The computer screen is the
operator’s real connection to the monitor. The screen is configured either by directly hooking up to the monitor
or accessing it through an assigned IP address. The built-in webpage display features controlling buttons by which
an operator sets up the data he wishes to monitor and record.
The 3024 antenna power meter calculates
VSWR, and measures forward and reflected power. Visual alerts can be programmed to warn when measured limits are
exceeded or are too low.
