Linear Industries Taps R&S Mux for Mobile DTV Apps


Rohde & Schwarz has announced that its AEM100 ATSC Mobile DTV multiplexer is being incorporated in a new A/153-compliant exciter and transmission product line from Linear Industries.

“The AEM100 Multiplexer was a 'natural' fit with our exciters and transmitter system solutions, thanks to the cooperative spirit built into the standard, and within Rohde & Schwarz,” said Perry Priestley, vice president at Linear Industries. “With this supply agreement, our customers will be in a better position to go Mobile faster- and at a better price point - than before.”
