Making history. Making it right.
Dr. Charles “Doc” Brown’s Dielectric Products Corporation started developing transmission lines for early wartime radar systems in 1942.
After the war, Doc Brown’s team applied their innovative technology to inventions for the emerging field of television broadcasting, and Dielectric was soon supplying equipment for all three major television networks.
In 1954 Doc Brown moved the company to his hometown in Raymond, Maine, where it has been headquartered ever since.
In 1994, we installed our first digital antenna, and 15 years later, completed the transition of more than 1,300 broadcasters to DTV. A few years later, our engineering of the HDFMVee master antenna paved the way to HD radio broadcasting.
Dielectric today offers the only broadcast systems designed and manufactured under one roof, including all components from transmitter output to tower top. This enables us to offer a level of customization and quality control unmatched in the industry.
With an extensive patent portfolio and product line, archives of tutorials and white papers, plus data on antennas reaching back to the 1960s, nobody is better prepared to deliver the answers and support you need for the decades to come.
