DOMINATOR
ANTENNAS By
Norwalk Electronics
Welcome
to Norwalk Electronics, home of the Dominator FM broadcast antenna. Our
goal is to provide high gain economical antennas that are reliable and
easy to install. We built the first experimental prototype of the powerful
Dominator FM broadcast antenna in 1996. The Dominator is now a recognized
low cost alternative to multi bay installations that has proved itself to
be effective in use with hundreds of broadcast stations around the world.
Our FM broadcast design is so effective it
eliminates the need for multi bay antennas in most installations. Don't
take our word for it. Try one for yourself 100% risk free. If you don't
agree the Dominator is the most powerful antenna ever designed for FM
broadcast , simply send it back within 30 days of receiving it for a
refund of your purchase price! Why spend $10,000 in materials alone to
construct a
multi bay system when a single Dominator could provide the same coverage
area at a fraction of the cost?
Broadcast
antenna manufacturers made it very easy for Norwalk Electronics to exceed
the performance of every other FM antenna. They did this by never
designing a single antenna that had better then unity gain. In our opinion
FM antenna manufacturers have taken the wrong approach for the last 60
years. Their answer for more gain has been to stack multiple 0 db or
negative 3 db antennas
together to provide gain.
Why not start with an antenna that offered high gain by
it's efficient design alone? Especially when you consider this is an easy
task at VHF frequencies. Why
did this band fail to advance past variations of the basic dipole design
for so long? Many parts of the world have been quicker then the USA at
realizing circular polarization wasn’t the answer either. For more info
on the lack of efficiency in CP designs please visit our polarization
page.
The
Dominator FM broadcast antenna has been constructed to handle extreme
weather conditions. It's large diameter aluminum alloy tubing is able to
handle hurricane force winds and survives enormous ice loading. The
antennas wide bandwidth allows it to maintain excellent VSWR under these
icing conditions. Other antenna designs would require costly radomes and de-icers to approach this level of VSWR performance.

The Dominator is a .82 wave coaxial FM
broadcast antenna. The coaxial cone section at the base of the antenna
provides many advantages. It is much more effective at lowering the angle
of radiation in longer wavelength antennas then the standard 45 or 90
degree radials. This concentrates your signal into a narrow 360 degree
beam with the power to reach exceptional distances. The cone also
increases the usable bandwidth and gain of the antenna.
The Dominator has the same vertical gain
as four stacked circular polarized bays fed in phase and mounted over a
forty foot section of tower. You could easily spend thousands of dollars
to purchase a complex multi bay antenna system only to suffer through the
difficult installation. This is an ideal low cost alternative for LPFM
stations that does not compromise on performance. High power version is
designed for stations with a maximum ERP of 6,000 watts.

6M and 10M
5/8 Wave
$199.00 + Shipping

information.
Norwalk Electronics has expanded it's antenna
line with models to cover VHF low band for Two-Way radio communications
and amateur bands 6 through 10 meters. Amateur models cost $199 plus shipping. Commercial
low band models ( 30 to 50 MHz ) cost $249 plus shipping and are custom
ordered to your frequency. Please email us to order these models.
Our
Dominator 6 Meter antenna fills the need for a powerful omni directional
antenna to be used in the 50 to 54 MHz amateur radio band. The heavy duty
construction used in this 5/8 wave design makes it ideal for repeater use
and provides noticeable gain over a half wave. This antenna will unleash
new levels of performance in your 6 meter equipment with the ability to
work excellent DX through an omni directional antenna.
