SPX Communication Technology at the 2011 NAB Show:
At the 2011 NAB Show, SPX Communication Technology will be highlighting several new low-power solutions designed to reduce costs for broadcasters while increasing reliability.
On display in booth C2222 will be the company's DCR-XL, DLP-V, and TLP-BB antennas, in addition to 50-W and 4-kW filters. SPX Communication Technology will also be showcasing a wide line-up of its established antennas and filters for radio and television. Off the show floor, Director of Engineering Keith Pelletier and Senior Vice President of Broadcast Engineering Kerry W. Cozad, will present papers at the 2011 NAB Show Broadcast Engineering Conference. Mr. Pelletier will present "New Developments in Master FM Antenna Systems," while Mr. Cozad will present "Monitoring and Control Systems for Broadcast Transmitting Sites."
New Products at the 2011 NAB Show:
DCR-XL Antenna
With a 1-kW power rating, the low-power DCR-XL FM antenna is competitively priced for both domestic and international low power markets and is an ideal solution for small market stations, auxiliary antennas, and college stations.
DLP-V Antenna
For mobile broadcast applications, in addition to filling gaps in existing networks, the economical DLP-V antenna features an average power rating of 1.6 kW with a 70/30 horizontal/vertical power split. Designed to provide broadcasters with a low weight- and wind-load system, the DLP-V features an eight-bay single module design. The antenna provides a low-profile slot cover for protection from environmental wear and tear, while its simple mechanical design ensures a straightforward installation.
TLP-BB Antenna
The TLP-BB is a side-mounted, lower power UHF antenna capable of covering significant bandwidth at a minimal cost. Ideal for NTSC and DTV broadcasters, the antenna offers a wide 60-MHz bandwidth for 10 channels and a 2.0-degree standard beam tilt. The low weight and windload antenna offers multiple stations an option to combine into the single antenna. In addition the antenna was designed for a quick and simple installation.
50-W Filter
This 6-pole, tunable filter operates over a frequency of 470 MHz to 860 MHz and is engineered to meet the requirements for 6-MHz and 8-MHz bandwidth for digital and analog TV standards. The 50-W filter features an in-line design and is temperature compensated from 0 ºC to 45 ºC.
4-kW Filter
This 6-pole, tunable filter operates over a frequency of 470 MHz to 860 MHz and is engineered to meet the filter requirements for 6-MHz and 8-MHz bandwidth for digital and analog TV standards. To minimize package size and reduce insertion loss, the filter utilizes a cross-coupling technique. The 4-kW filter features convection cooling, can be ceiling or floor mounted, and is temperature compensated from 0 ºC to 45 ºC.
