Fanfare FP-TRO Receiver / Translator for HD-RadioTM + analog
First introduced at NAB '06, the FP-TRO, quite literally, replaces the necessity for
typical exciter demodulation and remodulation at the translator site. Instead, the
"TRO" converts the modulated carrier internally from one frequency in the
FM broadcast band to any other frequency within the band.
Not only that, recent field tests have shown the TRO capable of translating cleanly,
to the second adjacent, and in many cases to the first adjacent, without any
visible(scope)or aural interference. To complete the installation, a linearized
PA is required.
In summary, a TRO-equipped translator does not demodulate the signal, and there-
fore, does not impinge on any intellectual property for which licensing may be
required.
Production units are expected by the end of April, 2008
