DAC antenna monitoring systems

Manno based startup DAC System specialising in broadcasting monitoring systems, and its partner Dielectric, providing broadcast solutions, have announced the first antenna top monitoring installation in the US, at the WGME tower in Raymond, Maine.

Following the successfully installations of the its monitoring systems in Switzerland and Italy with clients including Raiway, the largest Italian broadcast tower operator, and Swisscom Broadcast, startup DAC System has won a new client for its customer portfolio.

Early April DAC System in partnership with Dielectric – which is known for being an innovative, customer-centric organization with a long history of engineering excellence in designing and manufacturing high-quality broadcast solutions – installed the first antenna top monitoring at the WGME tower in Raymond, Maine, in the United States.

The DAC monitoring device is mounted at a 500 m tower elevation on the outer conductor of the 6-1/8” rigid line. The DAC Monitoring system measures the power and VSWR at the bottom and the top of the antenna. This permanent in-line monitoring gives the operator picture complete snapshot of the RF-System with up to 250 Monitoring points per site. The system can monitor the temperature, VSWR/RL and power in indoor and outdoor applications. With its robust outdoor design and fibre communication, it is able to monitor high power broadcast systems on tall towers.

In addition, the monitoring system detects any degradation of the system performance and prevents complete system failures or damage through overheating of the rigid line. Prevention is possible because of permanent recording of the measured data; the operators are informed by email, SMS or push APP if barrier threshold indicate system degradation.
