Sutro Tower chooses Dielectric

Sutro Tower has selected Dielectric as the provider of antennas, combiners and transmission lines for its tower site in San Francisco.

The purchase, scheduled to be installed over the next three years, will complete the facility's transition to digital broadcasting, improve the systems coverage area, and allow the television broadcasters who use the tower to provide maximized DTV service to Bay Area customers.

The Sutro Tower installation will include Dielectric's TFU-WB UHF slot cavity antennas, TFU-JSC/VP high-power pylon antennas and TUC and TUA wideband UHF panel antennas, as well as the associated combiners, transmission lines, and other supporting components. The new installation will benefit the 11 television, five FM radio and 20 other commercial companies that lease space on the tower.
