FM Broadcast Antennas: Maximize Your ERP with the Right Antenna System
The antenna system is the most critical factor in determining your radio station's Effective Radiated Power (ERP) and signal reach. Even the highest-quality FM transmitter is limited by a poor antenna. To ensure maximum broadcast coverage, signal clarity, and power efficiency, choosing the correct FM antenna and array configuration is non-negotiable. Use our selection guide below or contact our technical team for expert advice on matching antenna gain to your specific coverage requirements.
Professional FM Power Amplifiers: Standalone & 10W to 1kW Stacking Solutions.
While many modern systems integrate the FM exciter and power amplifier into a single enclosure, we continue to manufacture a full range of standalone FM linear power amplifiers for specialized broadcast needs. Our amplifier series scales from 10W up to 1000W (1kW) and is designed for seamless integration and reliability. The 1kW unit is engineered specifically for stacking and combining, allowing broadcasters to achieve multi-kilowatt power levels economically.

RF Kits & Modules: Heritage of Excellence.
Our roots run deep in Radio Frequency (RF) technology. Kits and Modules always have a special place for us, our whole company was started in the late 80s and built on selling RF kits and modules first in the UK then the US via monthly electronic magazines. Our Veronica 1W PLL gained massive popularity during this decade. Check the buttons for more info.
In addition to the main items, FM radio transmitters, RF amplifiers, and professional antennas, we also sell other items like spare parts, components, filters, STLs, limiters, audio equipment etc. Check out the buttons here and have a browse through. If there's something you need that's not there, like studio equipment which we supply all the time for customers, talk to us and we can help you with this too, at the right price!.

Taking your first steps in FM broadcasting can feel overwhelming. Selecting the right FM radio transmitter requires careful consideration of crucial factors that directly impact your station's broadcast coverage and long-term performance.
This comprehensive AAREFF guide, developed by industry experts, offers clear guidance on choosing the ideal equipment. Learn to understand RF power output, strategic antenna selection, and critical local transmission regulations before you make your final investment.
Before comparing transmitter models and power levels, you must clearly define your station's core purpose and target broadcast area. Your ultimate goal will directly determine the essential RF power requirements.
• Local/Campus: Do you want to set up a station in a school, university campus, or hospital? (Low Power)
• Community: Do you need community coverage in a small town or city neighborhood? (Medium Power)
• Regional/National: Are you aiming for a major regional or full national broadcasting station? (High Power)
The relationship between transmitter power and coverage area is critical. We use Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) to measure this, which accounts for both the transmitter power and the antenna's efficiency.
- Low EIRP (0.1 – 30 W): Covers small areas such as educational institutions, churches, or neighborhoods, with a range of 1 to 12 km, provided the antenna is suitable.
- Medium EIRP (50 – 500 W): Provides urban-level coverage, with ranges of 16 to 49 km.
- High EIRP (1 kW – 100 kW): Can cover from 60 km all the way up to 195 km in some cases depending on height and performance of antenna
Important! It is critical to remember that the quality of your FM antenna and its location (tower height and terrain) are just as decisive as the transmitter's power in maximizing your station's effective range and reach.
Understanding your country's broadcasting regulations is non-negotiable. Every nation sets different rules on transmitter power, frequencies, and licensing.
• How far your signal can legally reach.
• Whether you need a broadcast license.
• What equipment you are permitted to invest in.
By knowing the regulations from the start, you protect your investment, avoid interference with other broadcasters, and plan realistically for your station's sustainable growth. Ignoring them can lead to fines, confiscated equipment, or your station being shut down.
An FM transmitter works best when combined with the right right supporting equipment. Viewing your setup as an integrated system is crucial for achieving professional, interference-free operation.:
-The Right FM Antenna: An antenna carefully chosen to match your needs is just as important as the transmitter itself.
• Dipole: Simple, cost-effective coverage for localized needs.
• Circularly Polarized: Better reception in moving cars and mixed-terrain environments.
• Multi-Bay System: Used for extended reach, maximizing broadcast coverage and signal reliability.
- Audio Processing: Essential equipment to ensure your audio signal is clear, stable, and loud enough to compete on the dial.
- RDS Encoder: Allows you to display your station's information directly on compatible car radios, enhancing listener experience.
- Professional Accessories: Use high-quality cables, filters, and connectors to guarantee seamless and interference-free operation, protecting your signal integrity.
It's common for new broadcasters to start small to manage initial costs and risk. A strategic approach involves choosing equipment designed for scalability so you can easily grow your power and audience over time.
It’s common to start with a lower-power transmitter and scale up as your audience grows:
Why Scalability Matters? Investing in modular, professional-grade equipment from a trusted vendor like AAREFF ensures that upgrades are simple and cost-effective, avoiding the need to completely replace your core infrastructure.

We are British company. Our chief engineer Paul Hollings has worked in radio transmitters all his life, he was an engineer for the BBC a number of years in the 90s working in the operational maintenance of their 240kW ERP FM radio transmitters across the United Kingdom. This is why we completely outstrip the competition when it comes to high powered FM radio transmitter installations, we beat them all.
We keep the cost low, because we do everything in house, we design, we make the FM radio transmitters, we make radiation plots (try to get the other FM radio transmitters sellers to do this, you've no chance), we make antennas, we make antenna radiation patterns, we fabricate almost everything from raw materials. In fact we have complete control over manufacture and bringing the product to the customer, no middle processes..
Hit CONTACT below, talk with us, tell us what you need to do. If you re a beginner, that's fine, we have had many beginners over the last few years, without any previous radio knowledge successfully setting up fully compliant 50kW EIRP stations. So, go for it, send us a message and tell us what you want...
