The final Element
Examine some ideas and items to look for in the budgeting and planning process as they apply to FM and AM antennas.
Dielectric HDR Plus
The most daunting task of IBOC has been how to combine the analog and digital signals in a cost-effective manner. Dielectric believes it has the answer.
FM IBOC site preparation
What steps should you take when constructing a new facility for IBOC?
Site security
Although no amount of security can deter a determined intruder, a burglar will definitely look for an easier target rather than risk being slowed down by a facility’s defenses and be caught in the act.
Antenna currents and field strength
Sometimes we lose sight of the relationship between current in an antenna and the resulting field strength value.
Safety first
It may seem that a typical broadcast facility doesn't have all the safety concerns of a construction site or a manufacturing facility, but accidents happen.
Concerning combiners
Until the advent of FM, combiners were rarely required. After FM was introduced, the need for a method of feeding two or more FM frequencies into a single

4 Times Square Antenna Project
The Durst Organization, the real estate management company of The Condé Nast Building (4 Times Square) in New York City has undertaken the massive project of tripling the height of the tower high atop the building, coming into its own as a premier transmission facility.
IBOC antennas
Despite the hiatus in nighttime operation for AM IBOC, antenna research is continuing in an effort to comply with the FCC's existing requirements of two antennas for FM IBOC, and develop a system using one antenna that will satisfy the FCC's requirements.
