ELBER'S CPM DIGITAL PORTABLE MICROWAVE SYSTEM

From the very beginning in 1978 Elber has chosen to work in the microwave radio link sector for the broadcast industry. The highly specialised staff, the attention paid to each and every single phase of the production from the design to the realization of the product and the use of high quality components form the benchmark of Elber's philosophy. The increasing expansion of the company has never kept Elber from maintaining a personal contact with its clients, from the smaller local broadcasters to the national television and radio networks. This philosophy, together with the high reliability of the equipment, allows Elber to offer a five-year warranty on its products.

Important and continuous investments into the Research & Development Department reflect the ambition to keep the leader position between its competitors as well on national as on international level. Elber also broadens its proper interest to the DENG device market which is the newest and most fascinating challenge at this moment that will allow Elber to design personalized solutions and exceed the nearly 10000 links installed around the world.

In the past years, Elber has focused its resources on the mobile microwave link market. Many investments have been made in this field: from the design of the first model TMC/P to the SPM, with its possibility to place two RF heads for duplex or redundant configurations.

Today, Elber offers the new CPM: practical, portable, analogue or digital. It is the suitable model for fast and reliable link: digital COFDM technology, extremely low noise RF oscillators, ensuring stable connections also under harsh weather and difficult terrain conditions.

The CPM operates in any 500MHz band between 6 GHz and 15 GHz. The modulation can be either analogue (FM) or digital (COFDM). An external IF input for different or back-up signals is also available.

The system can be composed of indoor and outdoor units or outdoor units only. The outdoor equipment is composed of a Tripod complete with Panoramic Head, Base Plate, Orthomode Transducer, Parabolic Dish complete with feeder and one or two RF Heads. The outdoor control units have the same dimensions of the RF heads and can be placed under the equipment, connected through a RG-216 cable. The indoor control units are 1U 19” standard rack and can be lodged in a van.

The weatherproof RF heads that can be installed on the base plate can be (depending on the application) single Transmitting or Receiving Head (Simplex), two Transmitting or two Receiving Heads (Double Simplex) or a Transmitting and a Receiving Head (Duplex).

Elber also offers a wide range of accessories that help in the transportation and installation of its mobile links: antennas, carrying cases, cable drums, etc.
