Why AM Stations Have A Key Role In Broadband Deployment! – Free Webinar!

lawrence-behr

Although they are a hundred years and a thousand megahertz apart, broadband wireless systems and AM broadcast have a curious and important relationship! Through this free webinar “AM Radio: Traps & Promises in Broadband Deployment” presented by WCAI and LBA, you will learn about AM transmission, how the AM towers and wireless towers interact, and [...]

New Antenna Tower Standards Urged to FCC for Wildlife Conservation of Birds

Antenna Tower

Some wildlife conservationists and communications industry members have reached an understanding about how to start giving migrating birds safer flights when they take wing in the vicinity of wireless and broadcast towers. In a memorandum submitted this month (May) to the Federal Communications Commission, the ad hoc group recommended the FCC develop interim standards on [...]

400% Increase in Daytime Power for AM Stations?

Power line transmission towers may affect AM station coverage

Engineering consultant Richard Arsenault says the biggest problem for AM reception during the daytime “is no longer interference between stations”, as it was when the AM service was established decades ago. The former station owner and consulting engineer says the threat is now “interference from electronic devices and power lines”, and it’s steadily getting worse.  [...]

Wireless Marriage by CoLoCoil™ – The perfect union of AM broadcast and cellular

AM CoLoCoils on their way to enable another wireless carrier to put antennas on an AM tower

LBA has pioneered solutions that permit cellular, PCS and 4-G providers to use AM broadcast towers as antenna platforms. The CoLoCoil™ AM isocoupler is one of the LBA proprietary AM wireless colocation solutions widely used by major carriers. The CoLoCoil™ safely separates AM and wireless operations, and isolates both directional and non-directional AM towers from [...]

LBA Explores Impact of Proposed AM Detune Rules

FCC Docket MM93-177 sets out to adjust FCC rules regarding the adjustment and measurement of AM directional antenna arrays. It also seeks to modify the manner in which the reradiation impact of nearby structures is considered. Today, all towers within a fixed distance of AM antenna systems must be evaluated. Under the new proposals, only [...]

AM Pattern Protection Changes Proposed

For many years the FCC has required licensees with antenna towers near AM stations to protect the radiation patterns of those stations. Currently, the FCC rules apply to any tower within 3.0 kilometers of directional AM arrays, and 1.0 kilometer of non-directional towers. Affected licensees need to take measures like AM field intensity measurements and [...]
