3TX System Overview
Final assembly and test of each transmitter are performed at the Anywave factory.
The Exciter is set up on the desired channel frequency and the TX is tested with the
complete RF system (if purchased) at full power into a load. All TX operating
parameters are optimized and the Transmitter Forward, Reflected, and Reject load
power meters are properly calibrated. Linear and Nonlinear pre-correction is performed
and automatically stored in non-volatile memory inside the Exciter. A Factory Test
Report is completed for each system, providing a record of full power operating
parameters and performance. The TX then goes through a final 24-hour burn-in period
and check out before being shut done and packed up for shipment.
In your shipment, you should receive a copy of the following documentation.
- Packing Checklist
- Transmitter Factory Test Report
- MHPTV TX Quick Start Guide
- MHPTV TX and Exciter User Manuals
Carefully unpack and inspect all your equipment and please review the Packing
Checklist when you receive your system to be certain you have received all your system
components. Also, please be sure to identify and remove all packing materials and
supports (foam pads, etc.) inside the Transmitter prior to initial turn-on of the
equipment.

4TX System Description
A hi-level System Block Diagram of the MHPTV TX is shown below. The MHPTV
system essentially consists of an Exciter, a Controller (with built-in preamp),
1,2,3,4,5,6, or 8 Power Amplifiers with corresponding input Splitter and output
Combiner, and a Band Pass (mask) Filter.

5TX Interconnect Diagram
Below is the front view of the Anywave 3-PA MHPTV Transmitter - which comes
in single and dual exciter configurations. Photos of a single exciter system are shown
below. The main subsystems (as seen from the front) include Exciter(s), one Controller
(with a touchscreen LCD, and built-in preamp), three power amplifiers (8 x BLF 888E
power transistors per PA), one AC Mains Breaker, and one channel mask Band Pass
Filter (BPF) – optional – installed on top or on the side of the cabinet rack.

The 3-PA MHPTV system Cabinet dimensions are shown below. Please note: the
BPF (not shown) may be mounted on top or on the side of the TX cabinet.

6RF System Connections
Once the TX cabinet is in position, the next step is to install the RF system and
connect the TX to the Antenna feed or a suitable station load before proceeding
further.
1. Mechanically mount BPF
If you purchased an Anywave BPF, Anywave will design to install the BPF either
on top of the TX cabinet or standing on the floor, according to the transmitter and
the BPF’s dimensions, unless it is specified with order.
If it is mounted on top of the MPTV cabinet (as shown below), four metal stand-
offs “feet” with mounting hardware are supplied with the BPF to allow it to be
fastened and secured to four holes located in the top panel of the cabinet. Before
securing the BPF with the screws provided, please execute step 2 below, as you
will need to be able to move (slide) the BPF into place, and then apply the mounting
screws.
1 – Mount BPF
2 – Connect Elbow and
Directional Couplers

MHPTV TX Quick Start Guide
MHPTV-QSG-DOC-V1.1, 12/05/2018 Page 14 of 37
If the BPF is installed on the floor next to the TX cabinet, then put the BPF in
standing position, and connect it with the transmitter with coax. Please note, if the
LPF included in the system is not installed inside the cabinet, then it should be put
between the transmitter and the BPF, as shown below.
2. Connect Elbow and Directional Couplers
With the BPF set on top of the cabinet, connect the 90º Elbow between the TX
output stack and the BPF Input (Before filter) Directional Coupler (if the LPF is
installed in the TX cabinet), or between the TX output stack and the LPF Input (if
the LPF is installed external to the TX cabinet). Be sure that these connections are
made properly and the RF bullets are fully seated inside.

MHPTV-QSG-DOC-V1.1, 12/05/2018 Page 15 of 37
Connect the After-filter Directional Coupler to the output of the BPF on one side
and then to the 1 5/8 or 3 1/8 slip-on flange adapter on the other side (not shown in
the photo above). This standard 1 5/8 or 3 1/8 EIA flanged output will then need to
be connected to your Antenna transmission line (please note: If your Antenna feed
is other than 1 5/8 EIA or 3 1/8 flanged, then you will need to provide whatever
adapter hardware necessary to facilitate this connection to your Antenna line).
Please be sure to install the Before and After BPF Directional Couplers in the
correct positions and orientation. Incorrect operation of the TX system may result
if these directional couplers are not installed in the proper locations with the
proper orientation as labeled.
3. Connect Feedback sample cables
Connect the 2 x 20dB attenuators to the Before and After 50dB Directional
Couplers and then connect these attenuators to the Before and After filter feedback
BNC connectors located on the top of the cabinet with the cables provided (as
shown below). As a check, verify the Before and After samples are properly
connected to the respective inputs on the Exciter inside the cabinet.
7TS Input Stream Connection
With the RF output connections properly made, the next step is to connect your
19.39 MBPS TS input stream to the Exciter inside the TX cabinet. Using a 75ohm cable,
connect your ASI input stream to the TS IN 1 BNC connector on the rear panel of the
Exciter (as shown below). If you have more than one TS (multiple STLs, etc.) connect
your redundant TS input to the TS IN 2 BNC connector.
3 – Connect

Please note: The above instructions apply to the 5X Exciter (which requires an ASI
input signal) and is most likely the Exciter installed in your system. However, if you
ordered the 9X Exciter (that can accept an ASI, SMPTE301M, or TSoIP (optional) TS
input, the rear panel connections on your Exciter will look slightly different. Please
consult your Exciter User Manual for details.
With a valid ASI TS stream connected to the TS IN 1 and/or TS IN 2 on the Exciter,
verify that the corresponding TS1 and/or TS2 Led is illuminated on the front panel of
the Exciter as shown below.
Please note: The Exciter SysErr LED illuminates solid RED when the Exciter is in
Local mode and is OFF when the Exciter is in Remote mode. This LED only indicates
a SysErr when flashing.

8AC Mains Connections
Please review the safety WARNINGS on page 4 of this manual before proceeding with
any electrical work.
A licensed Electrician is required to properly and safely connect the AC mains power
cable from your station's electrical panel to the terminal block located inside the TX AC
Mains Distribution compartment in compliance with local electrical and building codes.
Please note: a power cable is not provided with the Transmitter system and should be
obtained via your local Electrician.
Be sure the Main Breaker on the lower left front of the TX is turned OFF before performing any
electrical work on the TX (as shown below).
Main Breaker OFF

MHPTV TX Quick Start Guide
MHPTV-QSG-DOC-V1.1, 12/05/2018 Page 18 of 37
The MHPTV TX AC distribution compartment may be wired for 240VAC single-
phase (3-wire, L1, L2, GND – for 1, 2, and 3-PA systems) or 208VAC three-phase (4-
wire, L1, L2, L3, GND – for 1~8 Pa systems) power to be sourced from a proper breaker
sized according to the charts below. Also, please note the recommended cable gauge to
make the connection between the TX AC Mains Distribution terminal block and the
circuit breaker installed in the facility electrical panel. Please note: This cable is not
provided with your Transmitter equipment and should be obtained from your local
Electrician.
Important: The transmitter cabinet MUST be properly bonded to the building
lightning protective ground and have a good RF ground. This is typically done with a
2” to 4” copper strap that is connected to the cabinet ground, found at the bottom rear
of the TX cabinet, making sure all equipment inside the rack is tied to this ground. Any
damage caused by not having proper grounding may void your warranty.
