AM DESIGN COMPUTATION 1. Operating Frequency Class of Station: Class B Operating Frequency: 1098 kHz 2.

Height of the Antenna (refer to fig. 1) Vertical height in feet = 210 ft.

3. Operating Wavelength

4. Height of the Antenna in Wavelength

5. Height of the Antenna in Degrees hd = x 360 hd = 84.3369408 6. Power Transmitted in each Tower Antenna for Two Tower Antenna System

5 kW 7. Effective Field Strength at 1 mile for 1 kW, EFS (refer to fig. 2) EFS = 189 mV/m = EFS x (Pa)^(1/2) = 189 x (5)^(1/2) = 422.6168477 mV/m

8. Antenna Specifications a. Spacing of no. 2 antenna in degrees (S) = 90 b. Phasing of no. 2 in degrees () = 15 c. Number of Antennas in the system = 2 d. Percent (%) field strength radiated in horizontal plane from no. 1 antenna E11 = 50 % e. Percent (%) field strength radiated in horizontal plane from no. 2 antenna E12 = 50 % f. Percent (%) RMS field strength in horizontal plane from antenna system E0 = 85 % 9. Loop Radiation Resistance 1 and 2 (refer to fig. 3) R11 = loop Resistance of tower 1 () R22 = loop Resistance of tower 2 () R11 = R22 = 25.333 10. Loop Mutual Impedance between Quarter-Wave Vertical Towers Z = magnitude loop impedance between two towers, () Rc = coupling resistance at loop antenna between two towers (refer to fig. 4) Y = -35 Z = 24.5 M = 0.995

Rc1 = M x Z cos ( + Y) = (0.995) (24.5) cos (15 - 35) Rc1 = 22.90735686 Rc2 = (Z/M) cos (- + Y) = (24.5/0.995) cos (-15 - 35) Rc2 = 15.82743361 RL1 = RL2 = 2 R1 = R11 + RC1 + RL1 = 25.333 + 2 + 22.90735686 = 50.24035686 R2 = R22 + RC2+ RL2 = 25.333 + 2 + 15.82743361 = 43.16043361
