PowerSmart®

PowerSmart® technology is the Harris design initiative to create the most efficient transmitter designs and products. Harris leverages the most sophisticated tools such as Real-Time Adaptive Correction (RTAC), LDMOS solid-state solutions and other Harris technologies to develop cost-, energy- and space-efficient solutions.

PowerSmart® technology is the Harris design initiative to create the most efficient transmitter designs and products. Harris leverages the most sophisticated tools such as Real-Time Adaptive Correction (RTAC), LDMOS solid-state solutions and other Harris technologies to develop cost-, energy- and space-efficient solutions.

Application of world-leading 50 Volt LDMOS transistor device architecture yields:

• Highest device power density available 

• Higher gain device, fewer driver stages

• Virtually zero long-term Idq drift for simpler design with fewer parts

• Improved reliability and stability

PowerSmart technology has been integrated into the architecture of all recently introduced Harris TV transmitters to lower their overall cost of ownership. In addition to resulting in Harris transmission platforms being best in class in terms of power output and operating efficiency, the PowerSmart initiative provides the additional benefits of:

• Simple design enabling field serviceability to the pallet level

• Hot pluggable, redundant lightweight power amplifiers

• Compact, simple and rugged design
