Jordan Radio and TV awards multi-site antenna upgrade to Jampro

Jampro Antennas has been awarded a major contract from Jordan Radio & TV (JRTV) to supply broadcast antenna systems and related transmission equipment to upgrade four systems in the Hashemite Kingdom.

JRTV’s order included Jampro model JUHD UHF broadband panel antennas and combiners, JCPD FM panel antennas, combiners, and associated RF components.

JUHD broadband antennas are DVB-T-ready for UHF bands IV and V and have wide bandwidth for multiple channel operation.  Based on a proven modular design and made of stainless steel, JUHDs can be configured to provide various azimuth and elevation patterns. An optional beam tilt and null fill allows the elevation pattern to be shaped to maximize coverage.

he JCPD antenna is a circularly polarized 4-dipole flat-panel antenna system for FM Band II (87.5 to 108 MHz).   Made of marine brass and hot dipped galvanized steel, it was designed  for dependable performance in harsh environments. This antenna has proved to have excellent bandwidth, with typical VSWR of 1.10:1 or better. Using a variety of standard and custom directional patterns, JRTV will be able to shape coverage to fit requirements.

Engineers at Jordan Radio & TV selected Jampro RCCS combiners as they provide an inexpensive method to combine two or more signals, a press release from the company stated.

RCCS combiners employ bandpass filters and various lengths of transmission line configured to make these filters mutually invisible. RCCS bandpass technology offers intermodulation suppression of both the combined frequencies and any other frequencies in the local environment. Temperature stability is maintained through the use of invar tuning rods on copper centre conductors.
