Maximizing tower vertical real estate: real life antenna system solutions

摘要

With 1,600 television stations simulcasting both NTSC and DTV until their final conversion to digital, there is great demand for premium vertical real estate to optimize the placement of their antennas. For broadcasters and tower manufacturers, a major setback is the need to double tower aperture space in most locations by maximizing vertical real estate, antenna density, and antenna heihgt. Broadcasters need assurance that antenna performance is maximized, and tower operators will want to realize an economic benefit from making more real estate available.
