Radio masts and towers require regular inspection and maintenance to prevent breakdowns and life-threatening incidents. Aluminum masts are resistant to corrosion, but susceptible to frost cracking. The condition of guy ropes and rope tension should be checked, and regular anti-corrosion inspections of steel structures are necessary.
A telecommunications mast, like any truss, has nodal points that are its strongest places. It is worth applying all forces around the nodes, as this minimizes the risk of damage to the whole. This is important when installing additional guy ropes, attaching ropes when erecting the mast using the rotary technique, or even when selecting anchor points for antenna booms. A nodal point is a place…
The crown has two tasks, the first one results from the need to move apart the transmitting antennas, e.g. sector antennas. Antennas have back radiation which can lead to interference and interference. Because the strength of the electromagnetic field decreases with the square of the distance, even a small separation significantly weakens the interaction of the antennas. It is worth checking the specifications of the devices to determine the minimum recommended antenna separation by the manufacturer. The second task…
