Portable MW Antenna Systems

These self-contained, manpack and trailer mounted antenna systems are designed to permit fast implementation of MW broadcast facilities, especially in isolated or catastrophe areas. Using LBA Tunipole™ technology, these systems are completely grounded, and provide high efficiency, broadband transmissions. Normally provided with an integral frequency agile tuning unit, LBA can also provide complete transmission equipment in a single functional package.

The TGR-50 portable AM antennas are designed for easy transport and erection by limited personnel and transport by land by light vehicle.

Totally integrated, LBA transportable antenna systems include all ground radials, support equipment and tools necessary to transport, erect, tune and broadcast an efficient medium wave signal under field conditions.

LBA Technology's rapidly deployable TGR-50 AM antenna system, broadcasts with exceptional signal performance, excellent compatibility with the output of all transmitters and compact size for efficient installation and operation.

The 50 foot antenna mast assembly,antenna tuning unit and ground radials (set of 60 at 50' each) are shipped in three containers and the system can be up and running in a few hours with minimal labor and assistance. Field engineering assistance can be supplied as required.

The TGR-50 uses the proprietary LBA Tunipole™ folded unipole antenna design and is guyed and top-loaded. It exhibits remarkable bandwidth and signal stability for its compact design and is field tunable at the integrated tuning unit for optimal 50 ohm match to the existing transmitter facility output. It is rated for power up to 1,000 Watts, 125 percent modulated, and it is designed for optimum efficiency of performance for AM frequencies above 1000 kHz.
