Did you know that Cellular and PCS antennas can be added to an AM
broadcast tower? Consider the advantages of already existing tower and the minimal zoning problems. |
| Are you a Cellular or PCS Carrier, or a Tower Company that runs away from AM broadcast stations?? |
|
The wireless carrier wins by having an
existing tower to locate its antennas on with minimal zoning problems.
|
| The radio stations wins by generating revenue and by having a grounded tower that is better lightning protection. |
There are two ways to add antennas to an AM Broadcast Tower:
1. By the use of isocouplers, with one in each line.
2. By the use of a folded unipole antenna.
Now
that is a great idea, but what in the world is a folded unipole?
The folded unipole is really only a detuning skirt that
is added to the AM broadcast tower. The skirt becomes the stations
antenna. The tower is grounded, which allows it to be climbed, and also
allows antennas and feedlines to be connected to the tower with only normal
hardware. It is a process that is not new; it has been done for many years
with very good results.
AM Coordination Services can assist with the
process of helping locate AM broadcast tower sites, and adding a folded unipole
to a tower. It is better to do this with a non-directional broadcast
station, however, it can also be done with a directional broadcast station.
Please contact us if you need further information on the
process.
