LOW POWER COMBINER PORTFOLIO IV
MOUNTING
It was supplied the antenna systems and channel combiners for DVB-T at
3.000 stations in 18 months (July 2011-December 2012)
The transmitting powers of the 3.000 stations were from 1 watt to 100 w, per
transmitter
The antenna systems were fully customized
The antenna systems must handle the power and peak voltage due to the
broadcasting of 5 transmitters, 4 of them in a SFN (nationwide) and the fifth
one in MFN (statewide)
In the most of the cases, it was a turn-key project, with the following scope of
supply
◦ Design and customization of the antenna systems
◦ Supply of antenna systems
◦ Supply of the mouting hardware to fix the antenna system to the existing tower
◦ Supply of feeder cables
◦ Supply of channel combiners
◦ Supply of the coaxial accessories between the channel combiners and the transmitters
◦ Logistic works: transportation of the scope of supply of each project to the transmitting station
◦ On site engineering works:
