TV6-5282 SeriesUHF TV Dipole 4-Stack Array


BROADCASTANTENNAS

Section 2

Updated 9 July 2012

Constructed entirely from stainless steel, these broadband UHF TV 4-stack dipole arrays are designed for wide band vertically polarised TV transmissions where a high gain is required.

Key features are : Â The 120 MHz minimum bandwidth is ideal for multiple UHF TV station

transmissions and antenna sharing, Â 7.5 dBd gain, Â Neat design with an internal power divider included, Â Factory tuned and spaced ready to mount, Â Stainless steel construction ensures a long service life, and Â Minimal wind loading.

The standard range consists of 3 fixed frequency models TV6-5282-A, TV6-5282-B and TV6-5282-C each factory tuned to cover a designated bandwidth within the UHF TV frequency range 520 to 820 MHz.

Alternatively, clients can specify any 120 MHz bandwidth they require. Return loss will be optimised to better than -20 dB across the chosen UHF TV transmit frequency range. For a custom bandwidth dipole array, the order code is TV6-5282.

An N-Female connector rated for 200 watts input power is located inside the base of the mount tube. For higher 500 watts input power, add the suffix “-MP” to the order code.

To achieve even higher transmit power and gain, these dipole arrays can be mounted in tandem using another power divider.

Any of these arrays can be fitted with the TV6-RS stainless steel rear reflector screen to achieve a restricted cardiod shaped radiation pattern at the rear with gain increased to 10.5 dBd. See the following page for details.

Section 2

Updated 21 October 2011

Bandwidth520 – 820 MHz 8 Adjacent Channels

The Y815SS-CP cross polarised UHF TV broadcast Yagi operates with 13.5 dBd gain in both horizontal and vertical planes. Television transmission signals will therefore penetrate into the more obscure areas that a single plane antenna simply cannot.

The circular elliptical radiation pattern reduces unwanted reflection and refraction of signals. This improves transmit and receive performance, particularly in hilly terrain or where there are trees, wire fencing and steel structures in the signal path.

Constructed entirely from stainless steel, 15 sets of elements are arranged in a cross pattern and the 2 driven elements are at 90° phase shift.

Specify any 8 adjacent UHF TV channels within the frequency range 520 to 820 MHz and your cross polarised television broadcast Yagi antenna will be manufactured and tuned accordingly to better than -17 dB return loss, less than 1.3:1 VSWR.

The Yagi is supplied with a 2-way phasing harness terminated with an N-female connector rated for up to 100 watts input power.

A YS1-48 single strut kit will be necessary to properly support the antenna boom. This may be ordered separately, together with the S48-AM right-angle diagonal mast mounting clamp, coaxial feeder cable, connectors and other installation accessories.
