Welcome to
Norwalk Electronics, home of the Dominator FM broadcast antenna. Our goal is to provide high gain economical antennas that are reliable and easy to install. We built the first experimental prototype of the powerful Dominator FM broadcast antenna in 1996. The Dominator is now a recognized low cost alternative to multi bay installations that has proved itself to be effective in use with hundreds of broadcast stations around the world.
Our FM broadcast design is so effective it eliminates the need for multi bay antennas in most installations. Don't take our word for it. Try one for yourself 100% risk free. If you don't agree the Dominator is the most powerful antenna ever designed for FM broadcast , simply send it back within 30 days of receiving it for a refund of your purchase price! Why spend $10,000 in materials alone to construct a multi bay system when a single Dominator could provide the same coverage area at a fraction of the cost?
Broadcast antenna manufacturers made it very easy for Norwalk Electronics to exceed the performance of every other FM antenna. They did this by never designing a single antenna that had better then unity gain. In our opinion FM antenna manufacturers have taken the wrong approach for the last 60 years. Their answer for more gain has been to stack multiple 0 db or negative 3 db antennas together to provide gain.
Why not start with an antenna that offered high gain by it's efficient design alone? Especially when you consider this is an easy task at VHF frequencies. Why did this band fail to advance past variations of the basic dipole design for so long? Many parts of the world have been quicker then the USA at realizing circular polarization wasn’t the answer either. For more info on the lack of efficiency in CP designs please visit our polarization page.
The Dominator FM broadcast antenna has been constructed to handle extreme weather conditions. It's large diameter aluminum alloy tubing is able to handle hurricane force winds and survives enormous ice loading. The antennas wide bandwidth allows it to maintain excellent VSWR under these icing conditions. Other antenna designs would require costly radomes and de-icers to approach this level of VSWR performance.
