digiGO! — @ Broadcast Asia: JAMPRO (Stand 7G1-8, Hall 8)


Jampro Antennas, Inc. has announced plans to exhibit a full range of antenna and RF component offerings at Broadcast Asia 2009

The Company’s line-up will include television and radio solutions for DTV, FM, LP-FM, AM, FM-HD and HD Radio. Jampro will highlight its award-winning UHF RWED-516-U, a compact TV mask/filter combiner along with the JA/MS-BB UHF Broadband slot antenna.

JAMPRO UHF RWED-516-U combiner The UHF RWED-516-U is a compact TV mask/filter combiner with four-port directionality that can be used as either a mask filter or constant impedance-combining module for high power UHF TV broadcasts.  The unit, which earned a TV Technology STAR Award, has a cross-coupled design to accommodate adjacent channels, meets stringent filtering standards, and provides constant impedance performance for adjacent and channel separations greater than 15.  The RWED-516-U provides the high isolation of traditional constant impedance technology and achieves elliptical response without external coupling mechanisms. Large cavities handle high power with low insertion loss; its filters are temperature compensated for closely spaced applications.  The RWED-516-U is expandable to accommodate future channels, unrestricted by the bandwidth limitations of standard hybrid technology designs.

Jampro will also feature its JA/MS-BB Broadband UHF Slot antenna an economical alternative to buying, installing and maintaining multiple antennas.  The Company’s most recent addition to its legendary Prostar™ line, the JA/MS-BB provides a single, compact solution that conserves tower space and minimizes wind loading. Especially designed for multi-channel/combined channel operations in analog-analog, analog-digital or digital-digital TV applications, the JA/MS-BB arrives factory tuned with a ready-to-install, elegant and streamlined design. Broadcasters can choose from a wide selection of standard and custom transmission patterns. It can be configured for horizontal, circular or elliptical polarization, beam tilt and null fill are available; the JA/MS-BB handles power ranging from 2 to 10 kW. Input impedance is 50 ohm and VSWR of 1.1:1 or better can be achieved over sub-bands ranging from 470-530 to 835-890 MHz.  The JA/MS-BB offers a compact new — but thoroughly proven — high performance and ruggedly built “single solution” for analog or DTV broadcast applications.

Jampro will also show a complement of its well-established products which include its compact RCCC Mask Filter/Combiner for DVB-T & DTV, a favorite of engineers because of its convection cooling and temperature compensation, high-isolation and low-insertion-loss; the Penetrator series of HD Radio™ antennas and components, including the JCPB-DA directional side mount FM broadband version; the JTS Test Section, a compact replacement for bulky tuned elbow complexes; the RCPU Patch Panel, with low-effort, quick release connections and low insertion loss; the JMPC-HD Antenna, for medium power FM stations; the JSHD-HD Antenna, an ultra-reliable dual-input FM system for full service stations; the RCHA-323-10HD Digital FM Radio COMBINER and the JL-SS Super Slot low-power TV Antenna series.
