The Harris Z16HDc is designed for common amplification of both the FM and IBOC DAB signals. The Z16HDc is a 7 kW transmitter and includes the world standard digital FM exciter, DIGIT CD. The Harris DEXSTAR™ HD Radio exciter is the source of the IBOC DAB signal and is combined with the DIGIT CD creating a hybrid signal ready for amplification by the transmitter. DEXSTAR incorporates Harris technology that improves performance, flexibility and ease of operation going above and beyond the iBiquity reference design.

Z-HD transmitters are a linearized version of the Harris Z-CD solid-state transmitters — the world’s most popular with more than 2,000 on the air. The Z-HD transmitters offer the same extraordinary reliability, redundant architecture and low-maintenance design as the Z-CD transmitters.
