Install and forget

Install the R&S®TLU9 and avoid any unpleasant surprises

The R&S®TLU9 is the only transmitter in its power class that delivers high-end performance. Premium components and an extremely robust design give the transmitter unparalleled availability and long service intervals.

Built-in performance analysis

The R&S®TLU9 comes with built-in performance analysis functions, including efficiency measurement and signal quality analysis. It has a self-monitoring function for instant feedback on operational parameters and clear diagnostic information in the event of a fault. It also has consistent quality of service and low operating costs.

World-class echo cancellation mechanism

The R&S®TLU9 gap filler comes with unparalleled echo cancellation performance. Not only does it stably cancel very high echo levels of up to 25 dB, it also combines powerful Doppler echo cancellation with the unique R&S®smartEC feature that continuously adapts to varying echo situations – always focusing on highly reliable operation, excellent signal quality (MER) and significantly reduced OPEX, which are very important for gap-filler network operators.

Designed for long product lifetime

The advanced thermal design helps prevent hot spots and thermal stress. The R&S®TLU9 is designed for a prolonged product life. Investment in the transmitter pays off much longer, significantly reducing cost of ownership.

Exceptionally reliable quality of service (QoS)

The R&S®TLU9 uses state-of-the-art technology for reliable and smooth operations, all while keeping transmitter downtime to a minimum. The transmitter also has an optional, integrated exciter backup battery (exciter UPS), unique to the low-power transmitter market. The battery minimizes the impact of short mains voltage disruptions.

Future-ready with a minimal footprint

Ready for future challenges

The R&S®TLU9 transmitter is designed to save energy costs throughout its lifecycle. A proven platform, premium RF components and a highly advanced thermal design mean the R&S®TLU9 is focused entirely on prolonging product life.
