DRM Long Wave Transmitter in Aholming (Germany)
Berlin, 22nd October, 2008: TRANSRADIO SenderSysteme Berlin AG announced today that Media Broadcast GmbH has successfully completed the implementation of TRANSRADIO’s long wave transmitting system TRAM/P 500L in Aholming. The new system went officially on air on the 10th of October 2008. The German national public broadcaster, DeutschlandRadio, transmits its program “Deutschlandfunk” via the station in Aholming.
The transmitter, TRAM/P 500L, generates a carrier power of 500 KW on 207 kHz. The TRAM/P 500L in Aholming is the worlds fourth DRM transmitter on long wave that completely meets the requirements of the out-of-band emissions of ETSI EN 302 245-1 and ITU SM.1541. A comfortable 5,8 dB minimal distance was achieved from the ETSI- spectrum mask (mask reserve).
Mr. Wittling, the responsible commissioning engineer said:
„A special challenge was the switch over from the old Telefunken PANTEL S4008 transmitter to the new transmitter TRAM/P 500L from TRANSRADIO without interruption of transmission. This was achieved ahead of schedule.”
