"Telecommunications tower" redirects here. For individual structures, see Telecommunications Tower (disambiguation).
Radio masts and towers are typically tall structures designed to support antennas for telecommunications and broadcasting, including television. There are two main types: guyed and self-supporting structures. They are among the tallest human-made structures. Masts are often named after the broadcasting organizations that originally built them or currently use them.
A mast radiator or radiating tower is one in which the metal mast or tower itself is energized and functions as the transmitting antenna.
