Dielectric will feature its new RingMaster Series of high-efficiency FM antenna systems at the NAB Show.

It previewed these antennas last year and started shipping them last summer.

Dielectric will offer simulations and examples of installations in the United States and the Bahamas. Among them: Bonneville International is using a RingMaster antenna for a 13-station system at Farnsworth Peak, Utah. And Vertical Bridge installed a RingMaster auxiliary system at Cedar Hill, Texas, to transmit FM and HD Radio signals for 10 stations serving the Dallas-Fort Worth market.

The manufacturer says the new line combines the performance of its DCR Series with an architecture that provides an economical, efficient and adaptable solution for side-mounted FM systems. Dielectric says they use up to 1/3 fewer components.

“Integrating both full and half-wavelength spaced arrays, RingMaster allows broadcasters to achieve full FM bandwidth performance, something previously associated with half-wave spacing only,” it states.

It cites lightweight construction that helps with tower loading, structural concerns and installation complexities.

“The flexible design also introduces controlled elevation pattern shaping, providing customers flexibility and improved signal uniformity across the coverage area.”
