Dielectric Achieves the Ultimate in Industry Recognition

Dielectric Communications, a division of SPX and a leader in broadcast antenna systems, today announced that the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences will present the company with a Technology and Engineering Emmy® Award at an awards ceremony during the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas on Jan. 7, 2008. The award recognizes Dielectric's accomplishments in designing ATSC broadcast transmission system RF filters.

"We're honored to have been selected to receive this Emmy as recognition of the important role that Dielectric's filters play in overcoming the challenges inherent in over-the-air transmission," said Dielectric Vice President and General Manager Garrett VanAtta. "This recognition by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences illustrates our commitment to innovation and excellence in engineering, and we look forward to carrying this dedication into our future product developments."

Dielectric's ATSC transmission filters support two distinct functions within a broadcaster's toolkit. Most notably, the filters eliminate spurious emissions that the transmitter may generate outside of the station's allotted channel of operation, keeping the transmission system FCC compliant. In addition, the filters eliminate interference from neighboring stations by absorbing out-of-band emissions coming from other broadcasters, further preventing the generation of intermodulation products.
