BRIDGTON – Shively Labs announced it has been selected by the KBPS Public Radio Foundation, Mount Hood Community College and Catholic Broadcasting Northwest Inc. to supply a broadband panel antenna system and combiner for the stations’ new Sylvan Tower facility in Portland, Ore.

The broadband panel antenna and the balanced combiner system will be configured for HD Radio implementation. The panel antenna features dual inputs for redundancy and a fail-safe pressurization system to allow for antenna pressurization in the event of a transmission line failure. The Shively panel antenna was selected after careful evaluation of measured coverage patterns done on Shively’s pattern range. The coverage is of particular concern to the customers because of the large facewidth tower used at this site.

Shively Labs, a division of Howell Laboratories Inc., is located in Bridgton. More information about Shively may be obtained by calling 888-SHIVELY or by sending e-mail to [email protected].
