Pictured are four bays of an ERI Model SHPX-6AC six-bay FM antenna in packing before shipment. The packaging includes a support cradle for each individually boxed antenna bay to support it through transit and protect it from damage.
These are bandpass filters for a new FM Tee Combiner for two FM stations in Missouri. The two three-section bandpass filters will combine the two stations and feed a new diplexed eight-bay ROTOTILLER® FM antenna. Most of the ROTOTILLER FM antennas built by ERI are made for only one FM channel and transmit a single channel. The antenna can also be designed to transmit two, three, or more FM stations from one antenna. In this case, the two FM stations are 13 MHz apart. The SHPX-8C3-SP FM antenna consists of two four-bay center-fed arrays combined with an additional center feed.
A new three-bay end-fed LPX-3E ROTOTILLER® FM antenna is ready for packing and shipment. This particular antenna is bound for an FM station in Northwestern Pennsylvania just south of the PA-NY state line. The radomes provide protection from snow and ice accumulation which can be heavy in that region.
An LPX-6C six-bay low-power ROTOTILLER® FM antenna finished tuning, painted, and ready to be packed for shipment along with the LPX-2E, with optional radomes, also prepared to be packed and shipped for another customer. On the far right is the last bay of a new SHPX-10AC high-power ROTOTILLER® FM antenna bound for North Dakota by the end of this week.

Chandler, Indiana – April 20, 2022 – Electronics Research, Inc. has three new hybrid couplers for high-band VHF television applications. ERI’s HY0245, HY246, and HY247 high band VHF hybrid couplers are plate-coupled quadrature designs that provide 3.0-dB, 3.98-dB, and 4.77-dB coupling levels, respectively. The hybrids are broadband from 174 to 240 MHz. The hybrid is most often used as a power combiner and also can be used as a power divider. All standard models are “cross-over” designs with the inputs, when used as a combiner, are on one side of the hybrid and the load port and combined output are on the opposite side. The input port opposite the combined output lags the other input by 90 degrees. The hybrid is available with any combination of 1-5/8-inch, 3-1/8-inch, 4-1/16-inch, and 6-1/8-inch flanged fixed male ports (order flange hardware separately). They are lightweight aluminum and compact with only 15.80-inches (401-mm) flange to flange spacing. Power handling is dependent on flange selection.

Chandler, Indiana – April 19, 2022 – Electronics Research, Inc. will introduce two improved UHF Television Bandpass Filters at NABSHOW2022. The new UF5000A and UF22000 UHF bandpass filters are rated to handle up to 5 kW and 22 kW average power, respectively. They both feature a patent-pending targeted forced air-cooling system that utilizes distributed finned heat sinks with individual cooling fans to target those locations that generate the most heat, based on laboratory testing. The system provides better heat removal using lower volumes of targeted airflow and has the benefits of less ambient noise and lower power consumption than traditional forced air-cooling methods.
The temperature-compensated filters are constructed of lightweight Aluminum with Brass resonators. The Evanescent coupled TEM resonators are durable and provide a rugged design that tunes quickly. Six and eight pole designs are available for 8-VSB and COFDM applications. Input and output connections are 3-1/8 or 4-1/16-inch, unflanged.

Chandler, Indiana – April 18, 2022 – Electronics Research, Inc. will introduce two improved 3 dB FM Hybrid models at NABSHOW2022. The HY0241 and HY0244 are now available with a broader array of port sizes, have improved power handling, and minimal variation in coupling ratio across the FM band.
The HY0241Series 3.0 dB FM Hybrid Splitter/Combiners includes models that handle up to 120 kW at the combined output (2 x 60 kW). They can be supplied with any combination of port connections from 1-5/8-inch inch to 6-1/8-inch. They are most often used in ERI’s constant impedance FM channel combining systems and as a power combiner to combiner multiple FM transmitter cabinets for increased transmitter power.
The HY0244 is a 90-degree 3-dB Hybrid Coupler with higher power handling capability. They are available with any combination of port sizes from 3-1/8-inch to 9-3/16-inch. The HY0244 is most commonly used as the output hybrid for a constant impedance FM module in large multi-channel combiner systems. Power handling is dependent on flange selection. Models are available to handle up to 300 kW at the combined output.
For both models, the standard configuration is a “cross-over” design. The input port opposite the combined output lags the other input by 90 degrees, “non-cross-over” versions are also available. They are constructed of lightweight aluminum and can be designed with coupling ratios other than 3.0 dB. Power handling is dependent on flange selection.

Chandler, Indiana – April 15, 2022 – Electronics Research, Inc. has added a new family of precision directional couplers to its product line. The coaxial directional couplers are available for 1-5/8-inch, 3-1/8-inch, 4-1/16-inch, and 6-1/8-inch coaxial transmission lines with one, two, three, or four sampling ports. The standard sampling port connections are Type N or SMA. The line sections are constructed to securely position and hold the inner conductor to ensure the coupler remains stable and calibrated through shipment and installation. These directional couplers are constructed with rugged aluminum outer conductors and are very compact, allowing them to be mounted in congested locations. The directional couplers have an operating frequency range from 54 MHz to 800 MHz and can be set for coupling levels from -30 dB to -70 dB with directivity of 30 dB or better. ERI also manufactures adjustable coaxial directional couplers and produces waveguide directional couplers for all line sizes used for terrestrial broadcast applications.
