  4.1  General Description

PJ500C-LCD 

e

  PJ1000-LIGHT

  are  compact 

radio  broadcasting  amplifier

 

manufactured by 

R.V.R. Elettronica SpA

 featuring adjustable RF power output 

up to 500W and 1000 W, respectively, under 50 Ohm standard load and less than 

20W drive power requirement.

PJ500C-LCD 

and 

PJ1000-LIGHT

 have been designed for installation in a 19”x3HE 

box for rack.

These amplifiers incorporates a low-pass filter to keep harmonics below the limits 

provided for by international standards (CCIR, FCC or ETSI).

Two major features of 

PJ500C-LCD

 e 

PJ1000-LIGHT

 are compact design and 

user-friendliness. Another key feature is its modular-concept design: the different 

functions  are  performed  by  modules  with  most  connections  achieved  through 

male and female connectors or through flat cables terminated by connectors. This 

design facilitates maintenance and module replacement.

The RF power section of 

PJ500C-LCD

 uses two MOSFET modules delivering 

up to 300W output power each, whereas 

PJ1000-light

 features three MOSFET 

modules with up to 350 W output power each.

An LCD on the front panel and a push-button panel provide for user interfacing with 

the microprocessor control system, which implements the following features: 
•  Output power setup 
•  Power output enable/disable
•  User-selectable  threshold  settings  for  output  power  alarm  (Power  Good 

feature)

•  Measurement and display of amplifier operating parameters 

•  Communication with external devices, as programming systems or telemetry 

systems through RS232 or I
