MULTIPLE ANTENNAS . . . MULTIPLE ADVANTAGES I
The RCA "Candelabra" represents a new approach to TV antenna design and gives broadcasters, who desire the same antenna location, many advantages. The tremendous savings of a common tower and single-site erection are combined with the benefits of equal height and a simplified transmission line installation. Through this design, maximum height attainable under aeronautical regulations may be achieved for both antennas.
$250,000 SAVINGS PER STATION
In the first application of the "candelabra" design (left), the cost of the complete installation was considerably less than two separate installations. The saving to each station was estimated at $250,000 — a total of a half million for the two !
TW0-IN-0NE, THREE-IN-ONE DESIGNS
In the design illustrated at left, the RCA antennas occupy two of the corners of a single triangular platform, made to fit the tower's cross-sectional pattern. A counter-weight occupies the third corner. In other designs (see right), three antennas can occupy the one platform, or any arrangement that can serve efficiently will be provided.
OTHER ADVANTAGEOUS FEATURES
RCA antennas are designed for top performance. Elevators are provided for carrying personnel up the tower. Catwalks run out from elevator landing in center of platform to all three corners for necessary maintenance. Construction is carefully suited to geographical location and terrain.
In the design above, three antennas occupy all of the corners, thus spreading the cost of the complete installation over three stations.
Why not look into the possibilities of a multiple antenna installation for the benefit of your station ? Your RCA Broadcast Representative will be glad to answer questions about television antennas and show you how RCA can provide the kind you need. In Canada: RCA VICTOR Company Limited, Montreal.
