ANTENNA PHASING & COUPLING
Continental Phaser Design

Practices
Continental phasing systems offer
optimal impedance and pattern
bandwidths with wide adjustment
range based on highly accurate,
computer analysis of antenna
tower impedances.
All designs avoid network
configurations which directly
impair bandwidth, such as those
which have excessive individual
phase shifts or excess tower base
reactance tuning. If special
bandwidth compensation networks
or rejection filters are used,
rf losses, voltage gradient and
circulating currents are carefully
calculated and their impact is
included in the final system design.
All system components are
carefully evaluated and selected on
abest-performance/best-
engineering practice basis. For
example: vacuum capacitors and
vacuum rf contractors are used
when appropriate.
Conservatively-rated components
are used throughout the design.
A static drain device is provided in
the antenna coupling unit for each
tower, unless this function is
performed by the ground winding
of an existing lighting choke, or

Component reactances and
transmission line lengths are
automatically adjusted for
frequency. The effects of coil Q and
transmission line loss are included.
The frequency-sensitive tower
impedance model answers two
questions which cannot be
answered if the tower system's
current ratios or operating
impedances are assumed to be
constant. They are:
(1) Tower currents at the sidebands.
(2) Tower currents at the carrier
during the adjustment process.
Obtaining the common-point
impedance, VSWR and the tower
currents, and the effect each
component has on these
parameters, enables Continental
engineers to prepare an optimum
system design. In addition to
"widebanding", this technique
can be used to study adjustment
sensitivity at carrier. It can also be
used to give advance indication
when apower divider control is
more of aphase control and
vice-versa. Adjustment interaction
can be optimized during the
design process.

After completion of the initial

G4D FM ANTENNA
The G4D antenna, with maximum

8-bay availability, uses asuffix
after the type number to denote the
number of bays. Vertical spacing
between bays is one wavelength.
The interbay lines use a31 2 "rigid
/
transmission line. Three such lines
are used between bays; two for
horizontal element feeds and one for
vertical element feeds. A combiner
for the three transmission line feeds
is used below the bottom bay; a
6foot matching section is used
directly below this combiner.
The G4D is available with a 15/ 8"
(type number and suffix A), or 31/8"
EIA 50 ohm female input ( type
number and suffix B). Maximum
power input capability is 12 kW for
A series; 20 kW for B series single
bay; 40 kW for B series, 2through
8bays.
Deicers are not supplied because of
the good bandwideth characteristics
of the array. Typical bandwidth is
approximately 5MHz between 1.5:1
VSWR points; the VSWR during
minor icing conditions should not
exceed 1.5:1.

Note: The listed power gain figures are approximate only, but are useful as aguide in determining the number of bays required. The gain figures will
vary with the pattern shape, and the exact gain figures are determined when the final antenna pattern is achieved.
The power gain for the vertical polarization component may be less than the horizontal polarization component since it will differ abit in shape.
The RMS of the vertically polarized.component can not exceed the RMS of the vertically polarized component. In the case of educational channels,
the vertically polarized component can not exceed the horizontally polarized component at any azimuth.

37M RING FM ANTENNA
The horizontal radiation pattern of

the Continental 37M FM Antenna
is essentially circular for both
top-mounting and side-mounting
arrays. The extent of deviation
from acircular pattern in the
side-mounted antenna is dependent
on the type and size of tower on
which the antenna is mounted. In
cases of very large supporting
structures, and in all cases where
guy wires are used, expert
recommendations should be
requested on spacing of insulators
and guy wires and mounting of
the antenna.
The voltage standing wave ratio of
the Continental 37M Antenna can
be maintained at better than 1.15:1
when field tuned because of the
inherently high stability of the
tuning system. The capacitor plates
of the 37M are adjustable for
optimum performance and equal
power distribution through all
rings. These advantages allow an
accurate prediction of the gain from
the given number of loops in the
array. Adequate bandwidth
virtually eliminates detuning
effects caused by changes in
atmospheric conditions. The
bandwidth and linearity of the
antenna are more than adequate

AUDIO PROCESSING EQUIPMENT
Orban's pledge is to deliver

dramatically improved sound and
even to expand signal coverage by
concentrating energy in the portion
of the audio spectrum that cuts
through static and interference.
OPTIMOD-AM has yet another
advantage in that it is totally
adjustable— including EQ,
compression and limiting, and
clipping up to 12 db. And
OPTIMOD-AM does all this with
virtually no audible processing
side effects.
Each Orban unit is equipped with a
rear panel connector to accept an
AM stereo adapter chassis, should

Orban OPTIMOD-FM
This is Orban's second generation
compressor/limiter/stereo generator
—one that offers unsurpassed
loudness and brightness without
processing side effects.
The OPTIMOD-FM 8100A is a
system of components, including:
•aunique widebancl/multiband
compressor which can be
exceptionally transparent or as
punchy as you like:
•an innovative peak limiter with
total overmodulation control —
without overshoot, pumping,
clipping distortion, or aliasing;
•astereo generator— new in design
— with flawless performance.
Because the OPTIMOD-FM has
accessible controls and clear
instructions, you're free to tailor
your sound for the effect you
find best.
OPTIMOD-FM: self-contained,
state-of-the-art; and all you need for

Moseley Model MRC-2

Microprocessor Remote
Control System
The MRC-2 System brings anew
level of sophistication to remote
control, telemetry and status
acquisition. Use of the CRT option
allows plain-English displays and
optional logging of command,
status and telemetry functions.
The Automatic Control option adds
time-oriented and feedback-oriented
command capabilities to the system.
Moseley's MRC-2 provides the
broadcaster with greater control of
the transmitter plant thru quick,
positive monitoring and control of
all desired parameters. Critical
operations are monitored
constantly. The use of dual limits
allows an operator or the system
itself to adjust parameters before
acritical limit is reached.
Plant security is improved because
of the MRC-2 System's ability to
continuously monitor transmitter
facility for intrusion, fire or
equipment failure. The MRC-2
can employ backup communication
links to improve system reliability.
