Overview
For AM stations, productive air time must be maintained at all
licensed times, in spite of catastrophic events or even planned
tower repair work that can render AM antennas unusable. With the
advent of LBA Technology’s rapidly deployable TGR-50 AM antenna
system, AMs now have the means of broadcast continuity with
exceptional signal performance, excellent compatibility with the
output of all transmitters and compact size for efficient
installation and operation.
LBA Technology offers the TGR-50 for purchase or as a leased unit,
to be dispatched immediately to any location where AM signal
continuity is jeopardized. The 50 foot antenna mast assembly,
antenna tuning unit and ground radials (set of 60 at 50’ each) are
shipped in three containers to the designated site for erection, and
the system can be up and running in a morning with minimal labour
and assistance. When no longer needed, the TGR-50 is re-packed in
the shipping containers and returned to LBA Technology with similar
efficiency. Field engineering assistance can be supplied as
required.
The TGR-50 uses the proprietary LBA TunipoleTM folded unipole
antenna design and is guyed and top-loaded. It exhibits remarkable
bandwidth and signal stability for its compact design and is field
tunable at the integrated tuning unit for optimal 50 ohm match to
the existing transmitter facility output. It is rated for power up
to 1,000 Watts, 125 percent modulated, and it is designed for
optimum efficiency of performance for AM frequencies above 1000 kHz. |
