The Harris Z16HDc is designed for common amplification of both the FM and IBOC DAB signals. The Z16HDc is a 7 kW transmitter and includes the world standard digital FM exciter, DIGIT CD. The Harris DEXSTAR™ HD Radio exciter is the source of the IBOC DAB signal and is combined with the DIGIT CD creating a hybrid signal ready for amplification by the transmitter. DEXSTAR incorporates Harris technology that improves performance, flexibility and ease of operation going above and beyond the iBiquity reference design.

Z-HD transmitters are a linearized version of the Harris Z-CD solid-state transmitters — the world’s most popular with more than 2,000 on the air. The Z-HD transmitters offer the same extraordinary reliability, redundant architecture and low-maintenance design as the Z-CD transmitters.


ZHD Transmitter Models

RF Output Connector:

All Models: 3 1/8 Inch EIA, 50 ohms
1 5/8 inch EIA step reducer supplied on request at no charge


Excitation:
Harris FlexStarTM HDx digital FM/HD exciter

Frequency Range: 87.5MHz to 108MHz programmable in 10kHz steps

Frequency Stability: ± 150 Hz, 0° to 50°C using high accuracy internal (59.535MHz) TCXO. 10MHz input for synchronization to external (GPS) reference. Automatic switching to internal oscillator if external reference fails.


Overall Efficiency:
HD mode greater than or equal to 26% AC to RF, FM+HD (common mode-20dB ratio) mode greater than or equal to 37% AC to RF, FM (analog only) mode greater than or equal to 55% AC to RF. All figures are at model specific nominal output power.


Harmonic / Spurious Suppression:
Internal harmonic filter meets or exceeds all FCC, IC, CE, CCIR and IEC215 requirements. Meets or exceeds standard NRSC-5A emission limits in all modes.


VSWR:
For load VSWR exceeding 1.5:1, nominal, transmitter automatically reduces RF output as a function of load VSWR (proportional VSWR foldback). For an instantaneous VSWR of 3:1 or greater, an automatic carrier interruption occurs to extinguish possible arcing conditions in the output load.


Modulation Types:
FM digitally synthesized direct to channel, HD digital direct to channel, FM+HD digital direct to channel.


Operating Modes:
“On-the-Fly” switching between FM only, HD only, FM+HD. FM Modulation Capability: Greater than ± 300 kHz.


Asynchronous AM S/N Ratio:
55dB minimum below equivalent 100% amplitude modulation by 400Hz using 75μs de-emphasis (no FM modulation present).


Synchronous AM S/N Ratio
: 50dB minimum below equivalent 100% amplitude modulation with 75μs de-emphasis and 400Hz high-pass filter (FM deviation +/- 75kHz by a 1kHz sine wave). Measured at wideband input.


AC Mains Requirement:

197 to 250V, 1-phase, 50 or 60Hz, 2-wire (plus safety ground) 197 to 250V, 3-phase, 50 or 60Hz, 3-wire Closed Delta or WYE 380 to 415V, 3-phase, 50 or 60Hz, 4-wire WYE
437 to 506V, 3-phase, 60 Hz, 3-wire Closed Delta or WYE
