Tower Array
<Back to Last Page>     <Full Glossary>

Definition: A tower array is the physical configuration of several radio antenna towers. Some radio signals are confined and restricted in the pattern they may be broadcast. This is usually done to protect other radio broadcasts in other geographic areas that also use the same frequency. A combination of the tower array and station wattage is a way engineers control the coverage of a particular station's broadcast.
