Rototiller X Series Brochure

ROTOTILLER® X Series
Circularly Polarized FM Antenna

Benefits
• Low VSWR, superior VSWR band
width, and minimal weather related
VSWR problems
• Fully pressurized, internal feed and welded feed
connections
• High input power capacity
• Modular construction facilitates easy installation and
repair
• Rugged brass construction and stainless steel support
brackets and hardware – Corrosion resistant construction
• Radomes or deicing heaters not normally required for
radial ice less than 1/2-inch; however radomes or deicing
heaters are available
• Quarter Wave Stub included
ERI antennas are unchallenged in quality and dependability. Characteristics

ERI is the only manufacturer to use large diameter outer Product Line ROTOTILLER®
conductors and a completely enclosed, pressurized, internal Product Series X Series
series feed system. The result is a simple and reliable method Frequency Range 88 - 108 MHz, Single frequency or multiplexed versions
of coupling power to the elements. Unlike competing
Polarization Circular (Clockwise)
designs, ERI series fed antennas do not require a troublesome
Azimuth ± 2 dB in free space
secondary current loop for element excitation with all the
resulting disadvantages. All ERI antennas include brackets Axial Ratio Less than 3 dB in free space
for mounting on leg, pole, or face mounting (up to 42-inch VSWR at Input 1.07:1 or less (with field matching)
uniform cross section tower); brackets for other mounting 1.25:1 or less (with top pole or LAMBDA™ Mounting System)
1.50:1 or less (top mounted without field matching)
configurations are optionally available.
ERI’s original and distinctive design combines the exceptional
engineering features of an internally fed, fully pressurized
system with superior fabrication characterized by totally
welded feed connections, rugged brass material and TIG
welding. The ROTOTILLER® X Series FM antenna’s unique
design consists of two series fed, bent dipole elements
which form a space phased, circularly polarized radiator.
The antenna’s configuration and the large diameter of the
radiating elements contribute to the excellent bandwidth of
the antenna system, and also inhibits corona discharge.
The horizontally polarized horizontal plane azimuth pattern
of the SHPX series antenna is omnidirectional within ±2
dB when the antenna is pole or LAMBDA™ Optimized
Mounting System mounted atop a tower. Side mounting the
antenna on a typical tower structure will affect the azimuth
pattern. ERI offers a pattern measurement service to assist
in determining the effect of the mounting structure on the
antenna’s pattern. Using ERI’s pattern optimization service,
the pattern’s circularity may be improved through the
addition of parasitically excited elements.

Notes:
(1) Antenna weight and wind load are approximate values for a typical structure assuming no top load. Final design loads will vary for specific projects and should be verified by an ERI representative.
(2) Wind loads are calculated in accordance with the ANSI/TIA/EIA 222-F standard. Weight and effective wind area (CaAc) includes antenna, inner transmission feed and typical support mast and mounting brackets with no ice.

Mounting Notes
The base price of ERI FM antennas include brackets for
mounting on a tower leg or pole, up to 15-inches in diameter,
or for face mounting on a uniform cross section tower section
up to 42-inch face. Optional, standard fiberglass and steel
anti-rotation brackets are available for uniform cross section
tower faces up to 42-inches, center to center. For uniform
tower faces greater than 42-inches steel anti-rotation brackets
are generally used. Fiberglass anti-rotation brackets for face
sizes larger than 42-inches may be available as a special order
item. Please contact ERI with those requirements. Standard
FM antenna mounting brackets and anti-rotation brackets
assume that the tower face is unobstructed. If conduits,
transmission lines, or other appurtenances are mounted on
the tower face(s) they could interfere with standard bracket
designs and may require an optional, extra cost, brackets to
accommodate the obstruction. Contact ERI with details for
further information. Brackets for mounting on tapered tower
legs are available at additional cost. Contact ERI with tower
details. Anti-rotation brackets (one per bay) required for leg
mounting if leg O.D. is:
• LPX, LP, 300, and 350 Series Antennas - 2-inches (51 mm)
leg size or less
• SHPX, SHP, SHP-H, MPX, and MP Series Antennas - 3-inches
(76 mm) leg size or less
• Radomed Antennas - 5-inches (127 mm) leg size or less
Utilize the ERI Advantage

Combine an ERI antenna with an ERI Mounting Structure,
Pattern Measurement and Installation. Assure yourself of the
best antenna/tower interaction. ERI’s Pattern Measurement
service will provide the crucial answers concerning the
relationship between the antenna mounting orientation and
antenna pattern.
ERI Mounting Sections are designed to achieve optimum
antenna performance while reducing weight and wind loads.
Only ERI can offer you an antenna/tower/installation package
that will achieve your highest expectations in a demanding
FM market. Contact Electronics Research for complete
electrical and mechanical specifications.
