Radio Frequency Systems (RFS) is  a global designer and manufacturer of cable, antenna and tower systems providing wireless and broadcast infrastructure. The company announced a customized planning tool to help broadcasters build their new television antenna system in preparation for the spectrum repack.

RFS’ Antenna and Analysis System Planning (AASP) tool is a software package that allows the user to configure their TV broadcast system and file documentation with the FCC to secure necessary permits and authorizations. A demonstration and copy of the tool is available at NAB 2017 in booth C2022 and online.  

The AASP tool lets broadcasters select from multiple antennas with various tower ratings and enter their new channel information into the program to receive detailed data, including the number of azimuth and elevation patterns to choose from, electrical and mechanical specifications, and a complete system analysis.

“Our AASP software is intuitive to use and can truly accommodate almost any antenna space that broadcasters might be using,” said William Brooks, regional product manager for broadcast products, RFS. “Our program generates a detailed report showing exactly how a system will work from base to beacon.”

RFS’ AASP tool is part of the company’s continued strategy to support the evolving broadcast technology needs of its partners for the design, manufacture and deployment of RF technology, systems and services. RFS also offers a full suite of frequency agile, polarization agile and future-proof broadcast products.
