Self supported towers
Self supported towers are more rigid towers and less sensible to torsion. This is the reason of why they are used to support several antennas of great surface and work at high frequencies (2 GHz. and more).
They are usually used when the floor surface does not allow brace fixtures (accidental terrain, urban zone with exiguous terrain). It's section may be square or triangular.
It's lower part is pyramidal and the upper part continues as a constant section armour.
The width of it's base is related to it's height.
The effort area is the sum of the parabolic antenna's areas to be installed (in the worst of the cases). |
