SFK-XE SERIES
THE COMBINATION OF EXTREME EFFICIENCY, MAXIMUM RELIABILITY AND EASE OF MAINTENANCE
The SFK-XE Series is the latest generation of RF amplifiers that combines cutting-edge technology with a smart design. Thanks to the XET™ (eXtreme Efficiency Technology) and the use of the latest LDMOS devices, the RF efficiency is over 50% while the overall efficiency is up to 42% without decreasing performance in terms of modulation error rate and shoulders. The clever and practical design of these amplifiers will guarantee you absolute ease and speed of maintenance. The available digital and analog TV standards are the following: DVB-T, DVB-T2, DVB-H, ISDB-Tb, ATSC, ATSC Mobile DTV,DTMB, ATV.

TECHNOLOGIES
XET
XET ™ (eXtreme Efficiency Technology): using the latest generation of LDMOS devices, more robust and efficient than in the past, and with a special low-loss design of the matching and combination system, together with very high efficiency power supplies (over 96% efficiency ), this technology allows surprising transmission performance and several advantages: greater efficiency, compact dimensions and reduction of cooling systems are just some of the improvements obtained. The XET technology, applied to the amplifier section of the TV transmitters, guarantees an RF efficiency higher than 50% and an overall efficiency up to 42% without decreasing the performance in terms of M.E.R. (modulation error rate) and shoulder.
APS
Anodized Protection System, is a special treatment applied to the surface of the aluminium body of the transmitters and to some of its components, preventing corrosion due to humidity or sudden changes in temperature and increasing reliability and longevity.
HSS
With the Hot Swap System present in the transmitters it is possible to carry out maintenance on the power supplies with the machine on and on the air in less than 5 minutes as well as for the amplifiers in modular transmitters. Even the cooling fans can be removed, cleaned or replaced in just 5 minutes thanks to their placement outside the machine.
RCS
Responsive Cooling System is an optimized and highly efficient cooling system. Thanks to the ability to react to changes in temperature of the transmitter or the environment, the system guarantees correct operation and optimal performance even in extreme climatic conditions or in the presence of high temperatures. The cooling system keeps the heat sink temperature at optimum levels.
AIR
The DB air cooling system not only prevents the device from overheating but extends the life of the transistors by far. In the transmitters and amplifiers the fans are mounted externally to allow easy and quick cleaning, or possible replacement, without opening or removing any module and without interrupting the operation of the transmitter.
LIQUID
An oversized heat exchanger, single or double (optional), suitable for outdoor or indoor installation, and equipped with single or double pumping system (optional) for maximum redundancy, is the main component of DB's powerful liquid cooling system. Thanks to the special design of the liquid cooled heat sinks inside the amplifier and the low pressure liquid distribution, this system ensures high reliability, cooling efficiency and ease of installation. Compared to the air cooling system, the liquid cooling system brings several advantages, such as:
- Correct operation even in extreme climatic conditions
- Significant reduction in the amount of air conditioning required
- Correct operation in dusty environments, with high humidity or salinity
- Very low acoustic noise
- Low thermal dispersion in the environment
- Longer life of transistors and active components thanks to their continuous operation at lower temperatures.

SMART DESIGN
Thanks to its research and development center, DB is constantly working to improve the design of its products so that the interaction between user and devices is always easier, more intuitive and maintenance faster and cheaper. The clever placement with direct access of the fans in the back and outside of the transmitters and amplifiers and that of the power units with easy access are the result. Such as the combination of latest generation RF combiner technology with ultracompact unbalancing dummy loads and a smart intercommunication interface between RF modules, drivers, and Logical Control System.
COMPACT DESIGN
HIGH SCALABILITY
The special design of the transmitters and amplifiers allows multiple configurations with high scalability which guarantees maximum flexibility and simplicity in the management of spare parts.
BUILT-IN TECH
65:1
Device equipped with VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) 65:1 built-in protection to prevent load mismatch failures.
EDI/ETI
EDI /ETI seamless switching. The output signal of each DAB multiplexer is constantly monitored and, in the event of an error in one of them, the system automatically switches to the redundant input.
