Overview
The major objectives faced by LBA Technology while designing the
TUP-series were: to be mechanically rugged and safe; to be
electrically efficient; to require under 20 man-hours to install; to
be self-contained and rapidly deployable worldwide; to operate on
any AM frequency, field tunable; and to have an affordable purchase
cost. LBA Technology has addressed these objectives with innovative
mechanical design. The 120 foot tower provides an optimum balance
between radiation efficiency, frequency coverage, and mechanical
ease of transport and installation.
The use of the proprietary LBA TunipoleTM folded unipole antenna
design achieves significant bandwidth and efficiency improvement
over series-fed towers. The TUP-3 system is capable of transmitting
efficiently at carrier frequencies from below 1000 kHz to over 1700
kHz. It is rated for power to 5000 watts, 125 percent modulated.
Housed is a weatherproof cabinet, the integral tuning unit features
high quality electronic components and matches the TUP-3 system to a
50 ohm transmission line. The self-supporting design of the tower
also minimizes erection time and complexity. |
