470-860 MHz Transmitting Antenna - APV8/N  - Band IV-V panel antenna

470-860 MHz Transmitting Antenna - APV8/N - Band IV-V panel antenna

APV8/N - Band IV-V panel antenna

 

 

 Panel antenna. 470 - 860 MHz, broadband. Vertical polarization. 12.0 dBd gain. Max. input power: 500 W, N connector. Mounting clamps and stainless steel accessories included.

 

  • General. The APV8-series Vertical Polarized Panel Antennas are designed for TV transmissions in UHF Band. Each antenna is composed of eight ice protected radiating elements, a stainless-steel reflector, a fiberglass radome and mounting brackets.
  • DVT ready. The APV8-series antennas ensures total DTV compatibility and quality.
  • Antenna systems. Stacking more panels it's possible to obtain customized patterns, increase the gain and the power handling capacity according to user requirements. Customized pattern, electrical beam tilt and null fill are available upon request.
  • Broadband. Suitable for channel or broadband (470 - 860 MHz) operations with multi-channel combiners.
  • Water, icing and moisture protection. The internal elements are protected against water, icing and moisture ingress by a sealed fiberglass radome. The input connector is protected against rain and icing by a special housing.
  • State of the art mechanical design, employing the finest materials (stainless steel, silver plated non-corrosive brass, copper, virgin PTFE and fiberglass) resulting in long life service.
  • Lightning resistance is guaranteed by the DC ground potential of the entire antenna.
