ERI Introduces Compact Liquid Cooled RF Loads

Chandler, Indiana USA – April 3, 2018 – Electronics Research is launching a new series of liquid cooled RF loads at NABSHOW2018. This new family of liquid cooled UHF coaxial loads offer a proven design for handling high RF power at low cost. Models are available with 3-1/8-inch, 4-1/16-inch, and 6-1/8-inch swivel flange female inputs. The loads employ a solution of antifreeze and water as both coolant and resistive material. The power dissipated by the load heats the solution and is removed by the constant flow. These new RF loads are less than 45-inches in length to save space and are constructed from Aluminum and Stainless Steel and weigh less than 22 pounds. The Models CL311, 3-1/8-inch; CL411, 4-1/16-inch; and CL611, 6-1/8-inch are the basic load designs. The Models CL312, CL412, and CL612 include an integrated, externally terminated and adjustable directional coupler at the load input.

These new products are currently in production and availability for new orders is generally less than 30 days.

New SUPERPANEL™ Broadband UHF TV Antenna

Chandler, Indiana USA – April 3, 2018 – ERI and iTECH are introducing their new SUPERPANEL broadband UHF panel antenna at the upcoming NABSHOW in Las Vegas. The i230ECx is a compact broadband side mounted UHF television antenna suitable for main and auxiliary applications. The antenna is configured in a cylindrical radome, that is very lightweight and low wind load. The base configuration is an 8-bay module that includes two inputs. The antenna can be supplied with an integrated hybrid power divider and phasing loop for fixed horizontal, elliptical or circular polarization or the system can be configured with a dual feed system that will allow for variable polarization ratios, that can be set for the entire array or for each individual channel feeding the system. This broadband antenna is suitable for single channel systems or for the combined operation of more than one television station in a single antenna. The 8-bay module is rated for 20 kW average power, 10 kW per input. There are standard system configurations for 8, 16 and 24 bays with array power handling capability up to 60 kW average power. The 16 and 24 bay configurations include the required power divider and feed harness.

The antenna is available with a wide cardioid azimuth pattern, Model i230ECW, or a narrow cardioid azimuth pattern, Model i230ECN. Both models are housed in a compact 22-inch (550 mm) cylindrical unpressurized fiberglass radome.

Standard antenna systems include 15-inch (381 mm) standoff brackets for mounting on poles or tower legs from 1.5-inches (35 mm) to 7.5-inches (191 mm) OD.  Standoff support pipes, face mount brackets, and mounts for larger diameter poles are available from ERI as optional items.
