THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF OUR TRANSMITTER…
PREPARED BY ANTONELLO GIOVANNELLI - DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING, ELENOS
Since, without power, no electronic device can properly function, I have described the “Power Supply” as perhaps the most important part of ELENOS transmitters. Several years ago, because of declining quality of OEM Switching Power Supplies – even among industrial supplies – ELENOS embarked on a project to design our own supply, manufactured by ELENOS. We addressed a number of the shortcomings of supplies on the market, and incorporated solutions in our design. Here is why the ELENOS supply is superior to other designs: 1. The DC output voltage is generally fixed, and not remotely adjustable. If adjustments can be made, it’s through a trimmer within 45-52 VDC. The power supply designed by ELENOS can adjust the output voltage from typically 25 VDC (this value can vary with the model of transmitter from 16 to 28 VDC) up to 50 VDC in order to obtain the maximum efficiency at any RF power level. With a fixed voltage, the maximum efficiency will be obtained only at one well defined output RF power (normally at the maximum power). With the variable supply that ELENOS designed, a wider range of maximum efficiency is realized. 2. Common supplies communications
may not have a capacity, only
signaling status by high or low levels on certain pins. In the ELENOS, the supply actually communicates all of the important parameters, such as output current, output voltage, temperature, under-voltage, and supply failure through an RS485 bus to the controller. This permits the supply voltage to be continuously regulated according to the actual situation. For example, in case of excess of temperature in the RF PA, the voltage can be reduced in order to reduce the RF power (and the temperature) without loss of efficiency. A suitable algorithm allows the transmitter to obtain the maximum "safe" output RF power. Similar management is made in relation to all the temperatures inside the transmitter, as well as the VSWR. Not one of these features can be performed without a remotely wide-range regulated power supply, such as we use in the ELENOS products. 3. In typical switching supplies, the ”share” of the power is made in analogical mode, usually with a 10% error in output currents. This means that 10% (more or less) of available power in a shared system is loss. In the ELENOS supply, the currents are shared, thanks to that powerful RS485 communication bus that is capable of obtaining a typical accuracy of 2-3% over the whole voltage range. It’s this
THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF OUR TRANSMITTER…
accuracy that also provides premium performance during voltage brownouts. 4. Speaking of under-voltage, such as during brownouts, the common switching supply offers no protection against an under-voltage situation. Simply, the output current has to be reduced. In the ELENOS transmitters, this situation is automatically managed, and the maximum output current is reduced without the necessity of manual adjustment of the output power of the transmitter. This means performing to the maximum allowable RF power. 5. In the common switching supply, it is not clear what happens in the case of short line interruptions; in particular, when the short
interruptions are very close to one another. This condition puts a huge stress on the inrush current limiter, and can be the cause of failures. The ELENOS supply relies on a powerful algorithm that protects the power supply against any kind of energy burst caused by brief interruptions. 6. Broadcasters can enjoy peace of mind when selecting the ELENOS transmitters. The entire transmitter design was specifically designed for heavy duty broadcast use. Our power supply was designed for harsh environments, handling bad quality power lines, which include fluctuations, interruptions, fast transients and so on. Why choose a transmitter using a “commercial” supply, not designed to handle these rigorous conditions?

LED CONTROL INTERFACE
Each transmitter comes standard with a built-in exciter, LED control interface and is configurable for discreet left and right, AES/EBU or or composite multiplex (MPX) input.
EASY SURFING SIMPLE AND IMMEDIATE MONITORING
Controlling the Indium transmitter is easy. It is possible to configure all the parameters of the transmitter by simply navigating through the software menus using the front panel control knob. Easy Access buttons take you directly to the main functions of the transmitter, so you can operate them quickly. Set up and operating parameters such as voltage, temperature and power, among others, are shown in an O-LED display. Indium transmitters also include status LEDs that provide a quick snapshot of the operation of the equipment. Complete monitoring capabilities of all transmitter parameters are also easily accessible.
NO CORROSION ALUMINIUM CHASSIS
To combat high humidity conditions, all of our circuit boards are protected with a spray coating to prevent corrosion or shorting. An aluminum chassis is used to further avoid corrosion. To combat humidity we pay particular attention to the air flow inside the transmitter. We use multiple fans for cooling, however all of the fans can stop running and the transmitter will stay on the air – albeit at reduced power. These are some of the things that make Elenos transmitters so reliable.
PLANAR TECHNOLOGY
Exceptional stability, repeatability, reliability and ease of maintenance are achieved through the use of planar technology within the entire RF section (RF modules, combiners, splitter and low-pass filter). This allows for the minimization of internal connections and soldering, increasing long term operation and performance.

SCALABILITY
FM TRANSMITTER ETG Indium - 5000 W
ELENOS has adopted a new concept in terms of product technology optimization which we refer to as product “Scalability.” Scalability is based on the reuse of proven technology and parts across the entire Indium product line. By leveraging the field-proven success of our 2 RU and 4 RU Indium transmitters, we can implement systems with output powers between 150W and 40kW and higher using scalable architecture and design concepts. This allows us to produce transmitter systems with the same underlying innovative technology, user interface, components, system management algorithms, network interfaces, security protocols, and maintenance routines. A successful concept on all fronts, “Scalability “ allows for more flexibility in product choice, economy of operation, management of spare parts, repairs, and training of our customers.

WOMAN RADIO TRAINING NETWORK EMPOWERING WOMEN THROUGH TRAINING AND INFORMATION IN AFRICA

ELENOS SOCIALE NON-PROFIT CASE STUDY EMPOWERING WOMEN THROUGH TRAINING AND INFORMATION IN AFRICA
Radio has an enormous impact all over the world. Its widespread availability and capacity to reach a large part of the population, even in rural areas marked by extreme poverty, have transformed the medium into a serious development tool. Despite the strong desire to participate in the public and private sectors, women must overcome stereotypes and a limited interpretation of gender problems. Regrettably, male domination in the media and balanced gender representation remains an issue. For the latest generation of young women, new technologies provide opportunities to overcome these barriers. Even with new opportunities, it can still be difficult for ordinary women of all ages to have access to radio management and publicly express their opinions and discuss their interests. To overcome these challenges, it is necessary to encourage women to participate in all aspects of broadcast operations: as presenters, contributors, managers and specialised technicians. Women's ownership of community radio stations should be facilitated and encouraged, as well the acquisition of technical skills to ensure gender independence and the capacity to manage the technical equipment that provides the foundation of all radio broadcasts.
ELENOS SOCIALE NON-PROFIT CASE STUDY EMPOWERING WOMEN THROUGH TRAINING AND INFORMATION IN AFRICA
The Woman Radio Training Network is a project targeted at community radio broadcasters with the goal of promoting the empowerment of women across Africa through training and information with particular emphasis on North African countries involved in the Arab Spring movement. The technical training aspect of this project is the primary focus of Elenos and AMARC, proud partners in this project. Both organisations believe that training is not just a starting point, but rather a creative and innovative way to encourage women to get involved in broadcasting and take more prominent leadership roles.
OBJECTIVES
- To support the efforts of African community radio broadcasters involved in encouraging women's empowerment processes through training opportunities and the endowment of technical instrumentation. - To create a successful pilot project that can be duplicated in other countries and regions. - To create long-lasting relationships with people who are active in the region as representatives of local communities; or who are involved in projects that promote or safeguard the civil rights of groups or individuals in specific regions or territories.
