8 Exciter Reducing energy costs Doherty technology in power amplifiers RF Main PA Pout Peak PA Amplifier ı Amplification for main and peak signals is separated Main amplifier amplifies average signals (class A/B) Peak amplifier amplifies peak signals (class C) lower headroom in main amplifier required No energy required in peak amplifier as long no peaks are in the signal Power efficiency for DVB-T2 in the UHF Band up to 38% 18/02/2014 Reducing the Total cost of ownership, Christian Wachter 8

9 Reducing energy costs Exemplary calculation Transmitter with Doherty technology vs. Market average air-cooled transmitter Market average transmitter Transmitter with Doherty technology P out W W P in W 2900 W Power efficiency 23% 38% Required energy per year (24/7) kwh kwh Expected energy costs per kwh 0,12 0,12 Expected energy costs per year Saved energy costs in 10 years All values including cooling. More than 40% reduction in energy costs Significant reduction of CO 2 emissions 18/02/2014 Reducing the Total cost of ownership, Christian Wachter 9
