Dielectric Minimizes Windload
April 14, 2010
Antenna maker Dielectric has a new
antenna, the DCR-S.
The DCR-S is a sidemounted circular
polarized broadband FM antenna. It can
handle up to 28 kW in a single bay and can
be stacked up to 120 kW in 16 bays. It is HD
Radio-compatible. The side-mount design aids
in wind avoidance and the design also intends
to minimize radiation aimed at the ground.
Dielectric President Garrett VanAtta said:
“With its reduced weight and low-windload
design, the DCR-S can be mounted on towers
that are not able to support a conventional
broadband antenna. And when the DCR-S
is teamed with our manifold combiner,
broadcasters will enjoy a cost-effective,
low-space multicasting system.”
Options include radomes and deicers.
