KRMA-DT in Denver recently selected RF Technologies to
supply its ultra low downward radiation SFNstar™ antenna for the
station’s
new Mt. Morrison transmitter site. The new antenna is going to be mounted on
the site’s ice bridge just 39 feet above ground level.
The 32 element patent issued and pending, SFNstar™ antenna has less than
0.005 of peak field at -90 degrees below the horizon, and
less than 0.024 of peak field from -45 to -90 degrees below the horizon. With
the 115 kW ERP of KRMA-DT, the antenna produces less
than 0.35% of maximum occupied exposure, and less than 1.75% of the maximum public
exposure level on the ground near the antenna.
The transmitter site is located on Mt. Mansfield, which
is well known for its extreme winter weather, and winds. The site is also
in
a public access area with stringent ground level RFR regulations. The UHF portion
of antenna pylon uses RFT’s patent
pending SFNstar™ antenna technology.
This special slot antenna technology produces up to 25 dB less of radiation at
high
depression angles as compared to similar sized standard slot antennas. The
use of this unique
antenna technology allows
WFFF-DT to operate at full ERP and comply with all
RFR exposure limits.
We are the broadcast industry leader in low RFR pylon antenna designs. In addition
to our SFNstar™ technology designs for
UHF (Band V), we recently introduced
the TPV-SFN VHF pylon antenna for high band VHF (Band III). RFT also offers low
RFR
VHF batwing antennas (Band I, III), and VHF (Band I, III) panel antennas.

RF Technologies was recently selected to provide a custom
designed stacked antenna pylon for WVNY-DT and WFFF-DT in
Burlington,Vermont. The 54 foot high antenna pylon consists of a VHF high-band
slot antenna, with a SFNstar ™ UHF slot antenna
mounted above it.
