. The AW-050 ODUR is a broadband,on- frequency repeater designed to receive, am- plify, and retransmit up to 25 analog  televi- sion channels or 150 digital channels(64QAM modulation).

The AW-050 ODUR is designed to provide cost-effective  coverage  over a wide area. With an omnidirectional transmit antenna it can cover an area of approximately 6 Kilo- meter  radius  when  fully  loaded  with  25 channels, or a 10 Km radius when loaded with 15 channels. A larger area can be cov- ered if the desired coverage is less than 360 degrees in azimuth.

The per channel output power depends on the channel loading. For a 31 channel load, the repeater delivers a peak power of over 100 milliwatts per channel with a C/CTB of 50 dB.

The  AW-050 ODUR is  designed  to operate outdoors in a variable temperature environ- ment. For increased reliability, an external cooled heatsink maintains component tem- peratures at desirable levels and an internal temperature sensor protects the high power amplifier from failure due to overheating. To facilitate operational monitoring with a field strength meter or a TV monitor, the AW-050 ODUR includes a test point  connec- tor. Operational diagnostic voltages can be monitored locally.  An option allows the voltages to be monitored remotely via serial port  interface  to  a  standard  Windows- equipped PC.

The repeater features an efficient, compact design,  consisting  of  a  Microwave  AGC circuit, a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), and a  Power  Amplifier,  all  packaged  in    a weatherproof enclosure.
