Breaches of these codes is overcrowding. on broadcast communications towers. The STACKER construction method integrates up to three antennas on a broadcast tower into the support structure, creating a platform for additional antennas. Andrew engineers use computer-modeling tools to optimize the structure mechanically without compromising the electrical performance of the antennas. The design of the support platform and structure is such that there is no mechanical interconnection between antennas. The flexible STACKER design means that any antenna may be replaced while the structure remains on the tower and other stations remain on air. This solution is a cost-effective alternative to a candelabra or T-bar system.
