A Texas company has patented a transmitter system and method for construction of low-frequency antenna towers significantly lower in height than previously needed for identical coverage. "One obstacle to deploying eLoran systems has been the sheer height needed for the transmission towers, each of which requires significant acreage," said Mike Rosso, vice president of Dallas-based Continental Electronics. "Tower height and land required not only represent serious financial costs, but in some cases adequate space is simply not available. Our technology can reduce tower height and real-estate requirements. With this, reducing antenna tower height by half would reduce required land area to one quarter."
